Preliminary thermal analyses for a nuclear waste repository in tuff
Description
Preliminary thermal calculations have been completed for a generic nuclear waste repository sited in welded tuff below the water table at the Nevada Test Site. Parametric studies were carried out for the thermal response of the repository for both high level and spent fuel nuclear waste. Computations were made on three geometric scales which included global repository, room and pillar and near field models. Results of the particular studies carried out at Sandia National Laboratories are reported; references are provided for results obtained by other contractors
