DESIGN ALTERNATIVE NO.2: LOW THERMAL LOAD, 25 MTU/ACRE AT 38 METER DRIFT SPACING

The objective of this analysis is to develop a proposed repository subsurface layout for ''Design Alternative No.2: Low Thermal Load, 25 MTU/Acre at 38 Meter Drift Spacing''. The scope of this analysis covers: (1) Integration of the Exploratory Studies Facility (ESF) openings into the proposed repository layout for Design Alternative No.2. (2) Identification and incorporation of factors influencing the proposed repository layout. These factors include the required drift spacing, total required emplacement length, the number of emplacement drifts, required development, and subsurface ventilation. (3) Geometry and configuration of the proposed repository openings. Development of a proposed layout showing the required emplacement area
