Assignment of probability distributions for parameters in the 1996 performance assessment for the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant. Part 1: description of process
TLDR
A managed process was used to consistently and traceably develop probability distributions for parameters representing epistemic uncertainty in four preliminary and the final 1996 performance assessment for the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP).About:

Hazards and scenarios examined for the Yucca Mountain disposal system for spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste
TL;DR: This paper summarizes various hazards identified between 1978 when Yucca Mountain was first proposed as a potential site and 2008 when the license application to construct a repository for spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste was submitted.

Progression of performance assessment modeling for the Yucca Mountain disposal system for spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarized the evolution of consequence modeling for a repository for spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste at Yucca Mountain in southern Nevada, including four early performance assessments (PAs) conducted between 1982 and 1995 to support selection and to evaluate feasibility and three major PAs conducted between 1998 and 2008 to evaluate viability, recommend the site, and assess compliance.

Site selection and regulatory basis for the Yucca Mountain disposal system for spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste
TL;DR: During the 33-year effort to establish long-term radiation protection standards and a regulatory framework for demonstrating compliance, the regulatory framework of the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission changed from setting performance criteria on barrier subsystem components in 1983 to the identification and technical justification for barrier performance based on a performance assessment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Site characterization of the Yucca Mountain disposal system for spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste
TL;DR: The investigations conducted to characterize the geologic barrier of the Yucca Mountain disposal system progressed through non-intrusive evaluation and borehole completions to determine stratigraphy for site identification and exploration from the surface through well testing to evaluate the repository feasibility.

Transport modeling in performance assessments for the Yucca Mountain disposal system for spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste
TL;DR: Modeling of radionuclide transport in the unsaturated and saturated zone conducted between 1984 and 2008 to evaluate feasibility, viability, and assess compliance of a repository for spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste at Yucca Mountain, Nevada found uncertainty in flow within the uns saturated and saturated zones was generally important to explaining the spread in the individual dose performance measure.

A comparison of three methods for selecting values of input variables in the analysis of output from a computer code
TL;DR: In this paper, two sampling plans are examined as alternatives to simple random sampling in Monte Carlo studies and they are shown to be improvements over simple sampling with respect to variance for a class of estimators which includes the sample mean and the empirical distribution function.
