Decision Points focus the implementer on identifying program improvements with respect to, for instance, environmental impact, safely, cost, and schedule. Demonstration activities: activities performed by the implementer to illustrate in particular to other stakeholders and the public, that the chosen repository design and operating mode does indeed perform as expected.

Multiple stages and the Decision Points that separate each stage constitute a phase. Pilot activities: preliminary tests of alternative repository designs and operating modes carried out in configurations increasingly close to those foreseen for the final repository.

, but it may be physically separate from the actual disposal area to ensure that the tests, which can go beyond design expectations, do not compromise the repository integrity. Thermal blending: selecting for emplacement in the repository waste packages with differing heat output, and thus determining the temperature distribution in the repository throughout the repository lifetime.
