ReportDOI
Final disposal room structural response calculations
TL;DR: In this paper, finite element calculations have been performed to determine the structural response of waste-filled disposal rooms at the WIPP for a period of 10,000 years after emplacement of the waste.
ReportDOI
Coupled multiphase flow and closure analysis of repository response to waste-generated gas at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP)
TL;DR: In this article, a multiphase fluid flow code, TOUGH2/EOS8, was adapted to model the processes of gas generation, disposal room creep closure, and multi-phase fluid flow, as well as the coupling between the three processes.
Journal ArticleDOI
The advantages of a salt/bentonite backfill for Waste Isolation Pilot Plant disposal rooms
TL;DR: In this article, the authors concluded that a 70/30 wt % salt/bentonite mixture is preferable to pure crushed salt as backfill for disposal rooms in the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant.
ReportDOI
Structural Evaluation of WIPP Disposal Room Raised to Clay Seam G
Byoung Yoon Park,John F. Holland +1 more
TL;DR: An error was discovered in the ALGEBBRA script used to calculate the disturbed rock zone around the disposal room and the shear failure zone in the anhydrite layers in the original version as discussed by the authors.
ReportDOI
Waste isolation pilot plant disposal room model
TL;DR: In this article, the conceptual and mathematical models for the part of the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) performance assessment that is concerned with what happens to the waste over long times after the repository is decommissioned are described.
