7. Conceptual release pathways for the E1E2 human intrusion event (see Chapter 2). It is assumed that at some time in the next 10,000 years, a borehole penetrates both the waste and a region of pressurized brine in the underlying Castile formation. A second borehole is also assumed to penetrate the waste but not the pressurized brine. Arrows indicate the hypothetical direction of ground-water flow and radionuclide transport; Rc indicates material released at the surface directly from the drilling operation; Racc indicates radionuclides released below the surface into a permeable bed of Culebra dolomite. This and other release pathways are considered in calculations made to evaluate whether or not a WIPP repository would comply with U.S. Environmental Protèction Agency (EPA) standards.

8. Mean Complementary Cumulative Distribution Functions (CCDFs) showing the probability of radionuclide releases from WIPP over 10,000 years for undisturbed conditions (red) and intrusive drilling scenarios (blue). This figure illustrates the dominant influence of intrusion scenarios on the predicted releases. These preliminary CCDFs are based on early models and data and do not address all the requirements of EPA regulations 40 CFR 191 or 40 CFR 194. The EPA release limits are shown as the lefthand-side limits of the region in green. Compliance is achieved if the mean CCDF never enters the green region.

This volume discusses the readiness of the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) facility near Carlsbad, New Mexico, to serve as a geological repository for transuranic radioactive waste. WIPP is located in a Permian-age bedded salt deposit 658 meters below the surface. The committee has long reviewed DOE's readiness efforts, now aimed at demonstrating compliance with U.S. Environmental Protection Agency regulations. Site characterization studies and performance assessment modeling are among the topics considered in this volume.
