SUBJECT: YMP Site Report for the months of September and October, 1989
}. GEOLOGY-GEOPHYSICS
A. Protyoe Drilling
Lang Drilling Company has moved its equipment back to Salt Lake City and is an standby until a suitable site can be found to complete the prototype drilling program. The site near Hoover Dam in Arizona proved unsuitable when water was encountered at 300 feet.
/ C // 8911220308 891113 PIR WASTE PDC Jffl - d Wi11- 1 I / V//Pj 0 Since it seems unlikely that State of Nevada air quality permits will be forthcoming in the near future, YMPO is looking at the Apache Leap area in Arizona as a possible drill site. The University of Arizona is conducting hydrologic research at Apache Leap for the NRC. It has been determined that the two activities will not interfere with each other. The Apache Leap site is located approximately 100 miles east of Phoenix, Arizona.
The procurement process for the Lang LM-250 rig is continuing.
B. Surface Based TestinQ
In response to Admiral Watkins' requirement that the Project prioritize surface-based testing to characterize "potentially adverse conditions" (PACs) at the site the Project is instituting activities necessary to support site suitability evaluation. In the near term, this activity would identify the status of planned surface-based tests in terms of the NRC's PACs and the major areas of concern expressed by outside reviewers of the program, such as the NRC, State of Nevada, the EEI, etc.
In the long term, the project will integrate performance assessment (PA) in evaluating priorities for surface-based testing described in the SCP:
* Evaluate the relative significance of each NRC PAC with respect to waste isolation;
* Assess the feasibility of developing criteria for evaluating the significance of each PAC to site suitability;
* Identify the priorities for the performance assessment studies needed to support the evaluation of PACs and site suitability;
2 * Evaluate the importance of each planned test to the characterization of each PAC;
* Establish testing priorities (tests important to the characterization of the most significant PACs); and * Compare priorities with the planned test sequence and schedule; identify any resequencing necessary to ensure early focus on PACs that may represent site-suitability concerns.
C. The National Academy of Science (NAS) Radioactive Waste Management Board asked Dr. Tom Hunter, Sandia TPO, to prepare a presentation on the current status of the Project's technical activities. The presentation, given on September 22, was an overview of hydrology, seismic hazard, tectonism, volcanism, and repository operations. Dr. Bruce Crowe, LANL; Dr. Jerry King, SAIC; and Dr. Bill Dudley, USGS assisted.
D. The NWTRB is scheduled to conduct a meeting on tectonism on November 20-21. A helicopter tour of the Yucca Mountain vicinity will be conducted by Dr. Clarence Allen, NWTRB. D. Allen is chairman of the NWTRB panel on structural geology and geoengineering. Participation is by invitation and those scheduled to go are: From the TRB, Dr. Don Deere, Dr. Clarence Allen, Dr. Warner North; From DOE, Dr. David Dobson; From LANL, Dr. Bruce Crowe; From UNLV, Dr. Gene Smith.
E. A three day tectonics meeting and field trip was held on October 31, November 1 and 2 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Attending were representatives of the DOE and DOE contractors and participants, the NRC, the State of Nevada, the NWTRB (Dr. Clarence Allen), and representatives of Local Government. The discussions were informal and frank. The NRC staff has a better understanding of the Project's tectonic model(s) and what the Project means when they use the term "detachment fault".
-7 F. During the week of October 23-27. the USGS held a retreat in Death Valley on "Earth-Science Investigations for the Yucca Mountain Project". A copy of the agenda is enclosed. Note that Dr. Dallas Peck attended and stayed for the entire meeting.
S. Enclosed is a copy of a booklet put out by the "Nevada Bureau of Mines and Geology, the UNR Seismological Laboratory, and the Nevada Division of Emergency Management". The booklet is titled "Earthquakes in Nevada, and How to Survive Them". This is a subject of great topical interest at the moment.
1I. HYDROLOGY - There are no new activities to report.
III. GEOCHEMISTRY
Enclosed is a copy of the September LANL project status report.
IV. REPOSITORY ENGINEERING
A. During the October Project Manager-TPO meeting, a strategy for the review of alternatives for the layout of the underground test facility of the ESF was discussed. From the handout:
EVALUATION ON UNDERGROUND TEST FACILITY Purpose * Review alternatives for the layout of the underground test facility. # Review the strategy for conducting underground tests. * Review the method for constructing the underground facility. Responsibility- * The Project Office will lead the evaluation under a GA program that meets the requirements of 10 CFR 60, Subpart S. Headquarters will conduct "management assessments" of the progress and may conduct a technical review of the assembled report.
4 THE EVALUATION WILL CONSIST OF A NUMBER OF RELATED TASKS: Task 1: Identify applicable requirements and existing comments and concerns. Task 2: Quantify the applicable requirements. Task 3: Verify information that will constitute the design input. Task 4: Review previously conducted evaluations of alternative underground configurations, testing strategies, and construction methods. Task 5: Identify a broad set of viable configurations, testing strategies, and construction method options to be formally evaluated. Task 6: Develop the detailed methodology for conducting the formal evaluation. Task 7: Conduct the evaluation. Task 8: Compile a report documenting the results of the preceding tasks and conduct a technical review of the report prior to finalization. FACTORS TO BE CONSIDERED IN THE EVALUATION 1. Potential impacts on the ability of the site to isolate waste. 2. Potential impacts on radiological and nonradiological health and safety. 3. Ability to perform tests and obtain representative data needed to design the repository and conduct performance assessments. 4. Flexibility to conduct new testing not previously identified or described in the SCP. 5. Flexibility to modify the configuration, construction methods, or testing strategy after construction has begun. 6. Potential for construction-to-testing interference, operations-to-testing interference, and testing-to-testing interference. 7. Compatibility with repository design requirements and conceptual repository design. 8. Necessity for prototype testing or surface-based testing prior to design or construction.
5a 9. Technical feasibility and engineering considerations including the risks associated with using state-of-art technology. 10. Ability to conduct routine operations (e.g., transporting personnel, conducting investigations). 11. Impacts on the costs and schedules related to both the underground test facility and a repository. CONCERNS THAT SHOULD BE RESOLVED PRIOR TO INITIATING THE EVALUATION 1. The Project Office to develop an implementation plan which will be formally reviewed and approved (for DA reasons). 2. A mutually agreed upon schedule will be established for conducting the tasks of the evaluation. 3. It should be determined if the compatibility of the underground test facility should be constrained by the existing repository design concepts. 4. It should be determined if quantification of requirements and finalization of requirements documents will be necessary.
B. Fenix and Scisson of Nevada (FSN) reported that the Title II design of the ESF underground facility is progressing well. A management review has been held where DOE and participants reviewed 38 general arrangement drawings related to the ESF and 4 related to the underground facilities. There are 27 design specifications and 15 design analyses currently in progress.
It is still understood by this office that the review that will include NRC and State of Nevada participation will be held in January. It is recommended that the NRC staff participate in this review of these design packages even though there will probably be major changes in the ESF design over the next few years.
6 C. Sandia National Laboratory has completed some work with Parsons, Brinkerhoff, Quaid and Douglas (PBQ&D) on using tunnel boring machines to mine the repository. A layout has been drawn up that provides for the same features as conventional mining but cuts the active faces from 11 to 2, saving time and money. This work is preliminary; no official reports have been produced yet_ The project feels that tunnel boring is very site specific and some prototype testing will be required to determine the validity of the idea. SNL has already prepared some approaches. It has been suggested that this topic may lead to an NRC-NWTRB meeting for in-depth discussions.
D. It is likely that both "6" tunnel and Climax will be closed permanently in the near future. All activities, other than those controlled by YMPO, have left "6" tunnel; therefore all costs associated with "6" tunnel must now be paid by YMPO. Because of recent budget cuts, the closing of "6" tunnel is inevitable.
V. LICENSING AND DOE-NRC INTERACTIONS
A. Project update meetings between the DOE and Nevada Citizens were held on September 25, 26, and 28 in Pahrump, Henderson and Carson City, Nevada. As has been true in past Project update metings, the anti-repository rhetoric far outweighed any positive sentiments. As in past meetings, many of the same people attended, many of whom used this opportunity for comment to editorialize against anything and everything nuclear. As had been the case in every meeting of this type, there was great ignorance of the technical issues displayed by the commenters.
B. The first Semiannual Progress Report (SPR) is waiting for the Secretary's signature and release by DOE-Hq. Insert A is the schedule for the next SPR.

D. Performance Assessment (PA)
Insert B is a memo to Hilary J. Rauch, Manager Chicago Operations Office from Ralph Stein and Carl Gertz discussing the PA program planned for FY 90.
E. Technical Data Bases
Ms. Jackalie Blue, SAIC, gave a presentation on the "Project Management Information System" (ProMIS) during the October TPO meeting. Ms. Blue stated that ProMIS is a system designed to improve the efficiency of the Project information management systems and reduce redundancy between systems. The first step in developing ProMIS is to produce an 'Information Management System Plan (IMSP). The IMSP includes the following:
* Information Resources Management (IRM) resources baseline
* IRM long range plans
1 IRM work authorization
* Status report and reviews
* IRM change control
* IRM quality assurance
* IRM program reviews

OATE OCT 0 3 1989 RAMY TO AMT OF: RW-30 SUBJECT: Participants and Responsibilities for FY 1990 Performance Assessment Program
To- Hilary J. Rauch, Manager Chicago Operations Office
Passage of the Nuclear Waste Amendments Act of 1987 focused the geologic repository program on the Yucca Mountain site in Nye County, Nevada. During the 1989 fiscal year (FY), the geologic repository performance assessment (PA) program was reviewed and activities were conducted to ensure that PA efforts are focused on the technical and regulatory concerns associated with the Yucca Mountain site. This review was directed to ensure that all essential PA activities are underway or planned, and that areas of overlap are identified and either justified or eliminated. As a result of this review, a number of changes are now being implemented in the PA program. First, the PA efforts in FY 1990 will be focused on the following sets of activities: 1) Performance Assessment Calculational Exercises (PACE). The PACE exercises for FY 1990 were developed by the PA Working Groups (WGs) during FY 1989 and were defined to help identify gaps in the current PA capabilities of the program participants, to focus development in selected PA areas, and to specify sensitivity analyses to support specific site characterization and design evaluations. 2) Long-term development of PA codes and models. These activities are needed to support out-year milestones such as the Safety Analysis Report and the Environmental Impact Statement. 3) Support to FY 1990 technical activities. A number of program site characterization, design, and regulatory activities and initiatives will require that PA analysis be conducted. For example, performance assessment support will be needed for the evaluation of potentially adverse conditions at the site for the prioritization of surface-based testing and will be needed for alternative design features analysis to be conducted in FY 1990. PA activities and resources will be directed and coordinated to provide this support.
INSERT B, pg.1 2 The second change is a consolidation and reorganization of PA participants. Enclosure 1 lists the participants in FY 1989 and lists the Yucca Mountain"Project (YMP) participants and OCRWM contractors who are expected to contribute to these PA efforts in FY 1990. Both YMP and OCRWM participants will be participating in the PACE-90 exercises and in the long-term development activities in order to develop capabilities for the evaluations to be conducted in the future years and oversight of these evaluations. With respect to the support to FY 1990 site characterization, design, and regulatory activities, the analyses will be conducted by the YMP participants and the OCRWM contractor role will be to support OCRWM's PA oversight and review function. Replanning efforts will be conducted at YMPO and OCRWM in the near future to ensure that the FY 1990 PA activities are prioritized and implemented according to this guidance. Specific PA activities and expected roles and levels of effort for the activities will be described in the Performance Assessment Implementation Plan (PAIP) and in guidance to the participants early in FY 1990. The FY 1990 PA efforts will be directed by the PA Program Review Group which consists of OCRWM and YMPO Division Directors and Branch Chiefs responsible for PA. The activities in specific areas (i.e., total system performance assessment, engineered barrier system performance assessment, natural barriers performance assessment, and preclosure safety assessment) will continue to be coordinated by the PA WGs. The leadership of each WG will now be the responsibility of the Yucca Mountain Project Office (YMPO). OCRWM will continue to be represented on each WG as part of its oversight function. The PA Technical Integration Group (TIG) will continue to support OCRWM and YMPO in an integration and advisory role.

INSERT B, pg.3 Step two involves requirements determination, analysis, and design of the ProMIS. This step will take approximately is months to complete. Step two can be broken down into 3 phases. Insert C describes the 3 phases included in step two. Successful implementation of ProMIS will require approval of the IMSP and the "Software QA Plan". The resources necessary to accomplish this task have been promised by YMP management.
One aspect of ProMis could be a problem. The data cutoff date for inclusion is 1987. This means that the bulk of technical data acquired by the Project will not be included. At this time, inclusion of the pre-1987 data (and DA qualification of this data) does not have a high priority. I've had several meetings with YMPO personnel concerning this activity and will continue to monitor it.

G. Enclosed is a copy of a memo from Paula Austin, SAIC to Mike Glora and Sue Volek, SAlt titled "Monitored Retrievable Storage (MRS) Commission Recommendations". For your information.
H. Enclosed are two issues of a new publication called "LINK". In the October issue there is an article critical of the Yucca Mountain Project that is full of false statements. One such statement is that "Yucca Mountain itself is an old volcano'. This statement, among others, is attributed to Judy Treichel, executive director of the Nevada Nuclear Waste Task Force (NNWTF). The NNWTF was formed by the State of Nevada to disseminate factual information about the Yucca Mountain Project to the Citizens of-Neveda. I asked Mrs. Treichel about this quote and she told me she had said no such thing and that the piece was full of errors. The November issue contains a rebuttal to the October article by Joy Fiore, Public Information Chairperson, American Nuclear Society and Robert C. Dickinson, Co-Chairman, Nevada Nuclear Waste Study Committee. 9. I~~~~1U Ali az CiJRJ

Many people now choose to believe Yucca Mountain is an "old volcano".
VI. STATE OF NEVADA INTERACTIONS
A. The State of Nevada has suggested that, under the provisions of A.B.222 (making it unlawful for high level nuclear waste to be placed in Nevada), it would be improper to grant permits for any activities that might eventually lead to the building of a repository in Nevada. It is expected that the constitutionality of A.B.222 will be tested in the courts.
The State of Nevada has vetoed the repository. Joint Resolutions AJR 4 and 6 were passed and sent to the U.S. Congress. The Attorney General, Brian McKay, has issued an opinion stating that the veto is legal. Governor Miller has stated that the repository is legally dead.
B. DOE is still negotiating a cooperative research agreement with the University system. Dr. Robert Maxon, UNLY president considers the issue one of academic freedom. There is strong political resistance to the University accepting research grants and the public is split on the matter. Enclosed are some documents giving a flavor of the controversy.
C. In a letter to the editor of the Las Vegas Review Journal, Elspeth Whitney, a member of the Public Citizen, Critical Mass Energy Project, of Washington, D. C. states that:
"The Nuclear Regulatory Commission predicts that even without human error there will be a truck accident severe enough to release radioactive contents every 8.7 years."
A copy of the letter is enclosed.

DATA QUALIFICATION POLICY FOR ESF TITLE II DESIGN ACTIVITIES
1. INTRODUCTION
This paper presents the Yucca Mountain Project (Project) policy for qualifying data not generated or acquired under an approved 10 CFR 60 Subpart G Quality Assurance (QA) program, but which will be used in Exploratory Shaft Facility (ESF) Title II design activities that are important to waste isolation or safety. ESF Title II design activities, depending on the location and - configuration of the facility, may influence the repository in areas important to waste isolation or safety. Consequently, it is essential that consideration be given to the qualification of existing data used in ESF design since such data may ultimately be used during the licensing process. Even though construction and operation of the ESF will be conducted under a 10 CFR 60 Subpart G QA program, controls must be implemented to assure that applicable ESF design inputs are qualified for their intended use relative to subsequent - - licensing requirements.
2. SUMMARY
Data that may be used in support of the license application in areas that are important to waste isolation or safety shall be qualified. Qualified data are data initially collected under an approved 10 CFR 60 Subpart G QA program or existing data that have been qualified through the qualification process - identified in this policy. Qualification is a formal process intended to provide a desired level of confidence that the data are suitable for their - intended use. Existing data are data selected for use by the Project that were generated outside of the DOE repository program, or within the program prior to establishment of an approved 10 CFR 60 Subpart G QA program. Existing data does not include data widely accepted by the scientific community as established fact (e.g., ASTM and ASME codes, handbooks, standard tables, and other information accepted by the scientific and engineering community). The qualification process must be applied to existing data used in ESF Title II design packages that are important to waste isolation or safety. This qualification constitutes formal recognition that the data are acceptable for the intended use and will be completed prior to initiation of ESF construction activities that use the data.
3. BACKGROUND -
The need for qualification of existing data stems from the observation that the success of the license application process will rely on defensible, - documented evidence of the merit of the technical positions that are presented. A 10 CFR 60 Subpart G QA program has been established to apply planned-and - -- systematic controls to ensure that this evidence is obtained. However, for data generated before the QA program was established, or for situations in which data from external sources are to be used within the program, a formal evaluation of that data is needed to document its acceptability. This evaluation will serve to demonstrate confidence in the data.
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has addressed this issue by 11-Oct-1989 DRAFT publishing Generic Technical Position NUREG-1298, "Qualification of Existing Data for High-Level Nuclear Waste Repositories'. Guidance provided by-NuREG 1298 indicates that existing data must be qualified if used in the repository licensing process for demonstrating compliance with requirements related to radiological safety and waste isolation. Specifically, existing data, if used in support of the license application, must be qualified if it is to be used in the following: (1) design of systems, structures, or components important to safety, (2) design and characterization of barriers important to waste isolation, and (3) activities related to these two topics. This guidance is implemented through Project Administrative Procedure AP-5.9Q, "Qualification-of Data or Data Analyses Not Developed Under the Yucca Mountain Project Quality Assurance Plan.'
Questions raised about the timing and extent of application of AP-5.9Q to data qualification have resulted in an evaluation of implementation approaches that can be applied to ESF Title II activities. Evaluation results were used to determine the approach most compatible with the current Project environment. The results indicated that a "phased approach" to qualification of existing data is most appropriate for this purpose. The phased approach concept is that existing data shall be qualified as the data are required for a specific program phase. In this case, the program phase under consideration is ESF Title II design activities.
4. APPROACH
The qualification process will be implemented in accordance with AP-5.9Q and will be integrated with ESF and subsequent repository program activities as shown if Figure 1. Pertinent requirements relevant to the phased approach as they apply to ESF Title II activities are described below.
The Architect/Engineers (A/Es) have the primary responsibility for identifying existing data that must be qualified. This identification will occur as the existing data are used as an input to a specific design package. For example, if the A/E uses existing data that resulted from a performance assessment activity, then the A/E will identify which performance assessment-derived data, based on its application (i.e., importance to waste isolation or safety), must be qualified. The List of Items Important to Waste Isolation, the List of Items Important to Safety, and the Quality Activities List may be used as an aid in identifying activities for which the use of qualified data are required. Once identified, the user documents the purpose to which the data will be used, the source from which the data were obtained, and the date. by which qualification must be completed (prior to release of the final design package) in order to support the user's activity schedule. The responsible A/E will then initiate preparation of a documentation package containing the identified data in accordance with AP-5.9Q and submit the package, along with the associated design package, to the Yucca Mountain Project Office (Project Office).
The Project Office will coordinate qualification activities (including completion of the documentation package) with the support of data users and data providers in accordance with AP-5.9Q. This qualification will be accomplished through the peer review option provided in AP-5.9Q, as appropriate. The Project Office will provide guidance on alternatives to initiating qualification through (a PHASED APPROACH 0 o ESF TITLE PI rt li SNLTECHNICAL DATA QUALIFICATION FOR NI __ rt

Peer reviews must comply with guidance set forth in NUREG 1297, 'Peer Review for High-Level Nuclear Waste Repositories."M Peer reviewers will determine if a set of data is qualified for its intended use. Should a qualification determination not be reached on the basis of the documentation provided, the peer reviewers will recommend what additional actions, as described in AP-5.9Q, are necessary to ensure that qualified data are used in the design package under consideration. The peer review results will be documented to clearly indicate .data qualification status.
Design packages important to waste isolation or safety that make use -of existing data will not be released for use in ESF construction activities until the data are qualified for its intended use and the appropriate qualification documentation is submitted to the records system. Qualified data will be identified as such in the Project reports, publications, and databases in which they appear. I

The state of Nevada's Higher Education system could lose a potential S22.8 million in firm research contracts over the next five years, and the opportunity to emerge as one of the country's top research institutions, if it is not allowed to pursue research grants being awarded by the Department of Energy.
'This is an outrage that our university's are being asked to give-up millions of dollars in research grants and the opportunity tc become one of the United State's centers for nuclear waste research," said Robert C. Dickinson, co-chairman of the Nevada Nuclear Waste Study Committee, a private citizens group composed of 8,500 Nevadans that encourage and seek factual information as the basis for making any decision regarding the proposed repository at Yucca Mountain.
Dickinson said his figures were based on projects that the Department of Energy has allocated funds for Yucca Mountain studies. All of the projects would require Congressional approval. Those figures include:
- The S10 million super computer proposed for UNLV. The computer will enable UNLV to become a national center for computational studies in radioactive waste.
- Up to $6 million, possibly more, to establish a licensing support and records management system at UNLV. Formation of this system would further add to UNLYs reputation as a national center for computer information and scientific research.
- An additional $4.8 million for Yucca Mountain site characterization studies. The money would be used for a cooperative agreement to coordinate oversite of independent engineering, environmental, biological and socioeconomic studies conducted by independent research groups such as the Technical Review Board, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the National Academy of Sciences and others. The university system has already received $425,000 for the development of this system. The DOE, with congressional approval, could allocate an additional $975,000 each of the next five years to fund this program.
I UNLV has received $1.3 million from the state, which received federal funding, to conduct studies on transportation issues associated with Yucca Mountain. More study money would be available to continue research into this area.
In addition to the known available research funds, there are other intangible benefits that are being put in jeopardy should -he university system decide to not pursue DOE research grants.
The Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste Management (OCRWM) is considering a number of universities to provide a graduate level fellowship program in nuclear waste research. UNLV is being considered for this fellowship program. A total of 18 universities including the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the University of Arizona, the University of Michigan, the University of Pittsburgh, and the University of Illinois are pursuing the scholarship.
"If UNLV were selected for the graduate fellowship program, it would bring our school a step closer to being recognized as a major research university, a goal that UNLV has pursued since its inception," Dickinson said.
Nevada's leaders could learn a valuable lesson from their counterparts in New Mexico, according to Dickinson. Elected officials in New Mexico, which has been selected as the site for the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) a repository to store nuclear waste materials generated by the country's defense programs, have welcomed similar funding of study programs in that state's universities.
Under the program - the first of its kind in the country - the University of New Mexico, New Mexico State University and Neov Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology will offer graduate and undergraduate degrees and conduct experiments on a wide range of problems related to waste management. The program will receive considerable funding from DOE.
Sen. Pete Domenici, R-N.M. was quoted as saying it is, fitting that New Mexico has been chosen to lead the way in this first-of-its-kind program. I strongly support the creation of a center of excellence in New Mexico to study the safest and best ways of dealing with waste management."
Echoing Domenici's statements was New Mexico's other U.S. Senator Jeff Bingaman, D-N.M. 'We put substantially more money in the DOE budget for research into nazardous waste and radioactive waste disposal and I think it's great that they're going to spend some of it in New Mexico. It's a good thing for the state and for the universities." Dickinson said the 8,500 members of the NNWSC can not help but wonder why Nevada's U.S. Senators do not share the same foresight as their peers in New Mexico. "As citizens of Nevada, we are appalled that some of our elected officials, which should be working in our best interest. want to stand let these types of funds go elsewhere, when elected leaders in a state facing the same type of situation as Nevada, are willing to turn a perceived problem into a benefit for the state."
According to the NNWSC's interpretation of the DOE research grant applications, acceptance of the money by the state's university system does not constitute wimplied consent" by the state regarding its position on the repository. The programs funded by the DOE are the same as other funding for research money for studying nuclear waste management issues that major universities such as University of California-Berkeley or are currently performing. If Nevada's schools do not receive the study grant money, other universities around the nation will receive these funds.
More than the university system is being affected by current political decisions according to Dickinson. 'The refusal to accept federal study monies could do immeasurable damage to the university's prestige and appeal, just when our school is emerging irnto the ranks of nationally recognized institutions. This iscrucial to the growth and development of business and industry in Las Vegas especially high level research oriented and electronic/computer types of industry.'
The NNWSC believes in the public trust that citizens of Nevada place in their university system, to conduct research in an unbiased fashion using established scientific methods. The colleges, universities and staff should be considered trusted and respected members of our community.
'We can only hope that Nevada's political leaders will join the NNWSC in affirming support of the university's academic freedom to allow its staff to do research into any areas they believe will contribute to furthering man's knowledge, whether it is a popular or unpopular topic. A state must not attempt to use laws to restrict the areas in which its universities may search-for knowledge,, Dickinson said..

WHY WE ARE HERE:
The Department of Energy (DOE) has not fulfilled either its legal mandate or the promise made by the Secretary of Energy to the Governor of Nevada. We are out here to let the public know that the DOE has broken its word once again.
1) According to the Nuclear Waste Policy Act, public hearings, like those held last March in Amargosa, Las Vegas and Reno, require the DOE to respond in writing to public comments and questions. This response could take the form of modifying its plans or explaining why no modification was necessary. In September, 1989, almost six months after the hearings, the DOE announced that it would-respond to the comments sometime in 1990. Meanwhile they continue to work on the Yucca Mountain Project without taking legally mandated public commentary into account.
2) In May, 1989,, Secretary of Energy James Watkins made a commitment to Gov. Miller and the Congressional delegation that future update meetings would be held after progress reports were published with time for the public to read them. These progress reports are mandated every six months by the Nuclear Waste Policy Act. The progress reports have not been published.
During the summer Citizen Alert urged the DOE to delay these update meetings until the progress reports were done, and they had responded to public comment of the hearings last March. We can only assume that they feel they can placate public opinion about their lack of responsiveness to technical issues by holding lots of meetings to 'give us information', We want to make sure the public sees through this pretense.
Some of the Citizen Alert members will be repeating their questions of last March in order to see if the DOE has come up with any answers. Fundamentals of Nuclear Waste Management
1 No acceptable disposalmethodfornuclearwaste exists. Proposed methods willnot dispose of the waste, only postpone contamination of the environment.
2 No level of radiation exposure is safe. Every dose carries a risk of damage. Epidemiological studies into cause/effect relation of radiation and health are prema- ture and inconclusive. We need baseline health profiles for any community which has an existing or planned nuclear facility so we can start gathering information.
3 Radioactive waste is radioactive waste. The distinction between types and levels, such as high level, low level, transuranic, etc., are artificial and arbitrary and should not determine handling procedures. All radioactive material should be treated with the same care. A
4- Our present inventory of nuclear waste should be isolated in retrievable, above- ground facilities which are as durable as we know how to make them. All necessary political, social and financial arrangements should be made to insure, to the best of our ability, its careful guardianship. -
5 Existing nuclear waste should not be moved; it should be isolated on-site in retrievable facilities. Exceptions may have to be made in rare cases where not even a carefully designed, retrievable facility is able to secure public health and safety; for instance when waste is- located on an active earthquake fault or flood plain.
6 No more waste should be created .... from weapons, from electricity generation or from industry. Wastes from nuclear medicine are a miniscule portion of the radioac- tivity of ourwaste stream.. Their disposal poses amanageable problem because of their short half lives and low concentrations; they can be tolerated until reliable substitutes can be found.

1.2.1 Systems SIGNIFICANT MEETINGS: Los Alamos attended the Technical Integration Group meeting on Performance Assessment held in Las Vegas, Nevada, on September 21-22. A presentation was made on a set of preliminary 3-D forward transport calculations (using TRACRN) from the repository to below the water table.
1.213.2 Geology MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS: Microprobe analysis of manganese oxides on polished fracture surfaces from the Tiva Canyon Member began this month, and work continued on scanning electron microscope analysis of fracture coatings in the Topopah Spring Member in USW G-2 and USW GU-3. Several samples were selected from on-hand Yucca Mountain drill core for potassium/argon studies of zeolites and authigenic alkali feldspar. Mineral separation is in progress. Energy-dispersive x-ray maps were collected from magnetometer separates from Calico Hills tuff in drill core USW G-2-2430. Elevation and cross-section maps were prepared for sample locations in Solitario Canyon, from which prototype samples were collected for the Exploratory Shaft. These maps will be used in a database for evaluating requirements for sample spacing and size for exploratory shaft sampling for Topopah Spring Member. PLANNED WORK: Work will continue on fracture mineral analysis of USW G-2 and USW GU-3 core. SIGNIFICANT MEETINGS: Staff of the fracture mineralogy and alteration history subtask attended the CASY workshop "Applications of Heavy Radiogenic Isotope Systems to Hydrogeologic Problems at Yucca Mountain" in Colorado on September 13-14. Two papers, "Mineralogy-Petrology Studies and Natural Barriers at Yucca Mountain, Nevada" and 'Volcanic Probability Calculations for the Yucca Mountain Site: Estimation of Volcanic Rates," were presented at the FOCUS 89 meeting in Las Vegas, Nevada.. A talk on volcanism studies was presented as part of the Semi-Annual Project Update meetings. The volcanism staff also attended and provided brief discussions of volcanism studies at a meeting of the National Academy of Sciences' subcommittee on radioactive waste disposal in Albuquerque. PROBLEM AREAS: None. 1.2.3.3 Hydrology MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS: One year ago, the prototype diffusion test tracer solutions were emplaced in two types of tuff at the Nevada Test Site's G-Tunnel. The packers continue to function properly. Seven samples of material from G-Tunnel and hole USW UZ-1, plus a NaCI reagent blank, were prepared for chlorine-36 analysis and sent for mounting in holders at the University of Rochester's accelerator mass spectrometer. Preliminary results were obtained. Dr. J. C. Westall from Oregon State University was brought in as a consultant for the tracer identification and characterization task within the Reactive Tracer Study at the C-wells subtask. Dr. Westall is well known as a surface chemist with particular emphasis in sorption in environmental systems. He placed considerable emphasis on the capability to do laboratory experiments with both individual minerals and tuff samples and then to be able to take this capability to the field for testing. PLANNED WORK: Continue chlorine-36 analysis of samples from G-Tunnel. SIGNIFICANT MEETINGS: The paper, "The Use of Chlorine Isotope Measurements to Trace Water Movements at Yucca Mountain," was presented at the FOCUS 89 meeting held in Las Vegas, Nevada. Staff of the chlorine-36 task attended a U S Geological Survey workshop in Colorado on September 13-14. The workshop was called 'Applications of Heavy Radiogenic Isotope Systems to Hydrogeologic Problems at Yucca Mountain.' PROBLEM AREAS: None.
1.2.3.4 Geochemistry MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS: The study of the sorptive behavior of americium (Am) in natural and synthetic groundwaters and pure minerals continues. The Am samples chemically separated for mass spectrometric analysis are currently being analyzed. Complete analyses of the major elements in the pure minerals used for our neptunium, Am, and technetium (Tc) work have been completed. Water/rock ratio experiments and Tc sorption experiments on pure mineral phases have continued. Several adsorption isotherms involving uranium on goethite are complete. The study of the sorption of radionuclides as a function of time using beakers made of Yucca Mountain tuff is still in progress (see schedule in February's monthly report). This month, calculations of the uptake (as a function of time) for strontium, cesium (Cs), and barium present in the solutions placed in contact with the rock beakers were started. The analyses of the uptake of actinides by the rock beakers are in progress. A set of preliminary 3-D forward transport calculations (using TRACRN) from the repository to below the water table was completed. Calculations include transport of Tc and Cs at recharge rates of 0.1, 0.5, and 4.5 mm/yr. Tilted stratigraphic beds and spatially distributed sorption coefficients were represented on a grid composed of 30,870 zones. TRACRN was placed under configuration management. FEHMN and FEHMSN verification continues. Field test design-scoping calculations using TRACRN were set up and begun. The first design being investigated is for constant pressure injection of water, which contains a conservative tracer, into a single horizontal borehole in an unsaturated medium that has the characteristics of the Calico Hills nonwelded zeolitic unit. The calculations will assist in setting bounds on expected behavior for each field test. The field tests are being developed as part of the new study plan 8.3.1.3.7.2. SIGNIFICANT MEETINGS: Staf f of the groundwater chemistry modeling task attended the CASY workshop Applications of Heavy Radiogenic Isotope Systems to Hydrogeologic Problems at Yucca Mountain' in Colorado on September 13-14. The-following papers were presented at the FOCUS 89 meeting in Las Vegas, Nevada:. "Formation, Characterization, and Stability of Plutonium (IV) Colloid: A Progress Report;" 'Laboratory Studies of Radionuclide Migration in Tuff;" Sorption of Radionuclides on Yucca Mountain Tuffs;" and "Preliminary Integrated Calculations of Radionuclide Cation and Anion Transport at Yucca Mountain Using a Geochemical/Geophysical Model." Proceedings papers are forthcoming. PLANNED WORK: Water/rock ratio sorption experiments will continue as nuclide diffusion and filtration experiments. More 3-D transport calculations are planned for the Migration 89 meeting to be held in Monterrey, California, in November. PROBLEM AREAS: None.
1.2.5 Regulatory and Institutional MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS: Site Characterization Plan (SCP) The Integration Group held a meeting on September 28-29 to discuss the plan for-resolving Nuclear Regulatory Commission comments on the statutory SCP. Input was provided for the comments that are Los Alamos' responsibility. Study Plans Study Plan 8.3.1.8.1.1, Probability of a Volcanic Eruption Penetrating the Repository. A comment resolution meeting was held in Las Vegas. PROBLEM AREAS: None. 1.2.6 Exploratory Shaft MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS: Los Alamos approved the EG&G Quality Assurance Plan. The Functional Requirement Document (FRD) was released as a Los Alamos controlled document. The FRD will serve as a key design input document for IDS design. A Readiness Review was conducted to determine EG&G's readiness to start IDS Title II design. The prototype testing summary report was submitted to YMPO. A Preliminary Safety Analysis Report (PSAR) for ESF testing was also submitted to YMPO. The Los Alamos PSAR is being edited and will be released as a Los Alamos controlled document. Los Alamos submitted a collaborative proposal (Los Alamos and U.S. Bureau of Mines) for the development of the drilling and dust control system for the ESF. Los Alamos also initiated work on developing a joint proposal with Sandia on field testing activities in support of ESF and repository construction methods. PLANNED WORK: Seek authorization from YMPO to start Title II Phase IA design of the IDS. PROBLEM AREAS: None.
1.2.9 Project Management MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS: Los Alamos completed and submitted to the Project Office the initial PACS requirements for W.B.S. areas 1.2.1 and 1.2.9. SIGNIFICANT MEETINGS: Terry Tate and staff presented a PACS information/implementation briefing to Los Alamos staff. PROBLEM AREAS: None. Sid&ce Apprkadms kheratey Cbrrtion INFORM4ATICN COPY

FROM: Paula Austin e SUBJECT: Monitored Retrievable Storage (MRS) Commission Recom endations
As of 8:00 a.m. this morning, I learned that according to a 3-page Executive Summary released today by the MRS Review Commission, the recommendations are: o Construction of a Federal emergency storage facility with a capacity of 2000 metric tons o Construction of a user-funded interim storage facility with a capacity of 5000 metric tons o Reconsideration of interim storage by the year 2000 because of uncertainties with the repository These recommendations are in light of the following conclusions made by the MRS Review Commission: o No technical basis exists for choosing an MRS or no MRS-both are safe o The total net cost including an MRS is lower than previously estimated because of repository delays (economies of scale and time) o There are significant uncertainties associated with the repository. If the repository is not up and running by 2013, interim storage becomes significant o There was no discriminating factor to make the choice-can go either way o The current NWPAA linkage of the MRS to the repository is not justified (although some-linkage is necessary) o The Commission notes that an MRS would be viewed as a de facto repository o However, some limited capacity is in the national interest to provide for emergency storage
I do not yet have-a copy of the Executive Summary but will try to get one. DOE/HQ should have it by now. The actual report will be available after the Commission's press conference this afternoon. Someone from my office (since I am here in Las Vegas) will attend the Johnston hearing t6morrow.

i INTRODUCTION
The Site and Engineering Properties Database (SEPDB) is being developed and maintained by the Geoscience Analysis Division of Sandia National Laboratories for the Yucca Mountain Project. Its purpose is to provide a central location for "tabular" information on natural and engineered components of the prospective nuclear vaste repository. The types of information stored in the database are defined in the Site Characterization Plan (SCP) parameters list. Some of the most commonly encountered questions on the Site and Engineering Properties Database (SEPDB) are: What types of information are in the system; and Hov can the system be accessed. The SEPDB Quarterly Report lists types of data in the database, explains how data can be requested from the SEPDB and provides forms for data submittals. Pages 5 through 22 of the Quarterly Report provide information on the contents of the database. Additionally, the database stores the QA level of the study and complete references. All of the information is available to any project participant by request to the Database Administrator following Project Administrative Procedure 5.20. Information requests from all other interested parties must be directed to the Yucca Mountain.Project Manager. Appendix A of the report consists of three forms. These include a Data Authorization Form, Vork Request Form, and a Data Information Form. Project participants interact vith the SEPDB through the use of these forms. The Data Authorization Form is used for submitting information to the database. The data submittal process is described in detail in Project Administrative Procedure 5.20. The Vork Request Form is used to request information from the database. Although this form is necessary for an official database product to be generated (official products may be referenced), database retrievals can be initiated with-a phone call to the database administrator.
1 For QA purposes the product is required to be hardcopy, but all information can also be supplied on magnetic media for ease in transport to another computer system. These files will be in ASCII format. The Data Information Form is used to inform the database manager of information that could be used by more investigators or information that needs to be available in a computer system for various modeling activities. The information provided with these forms helps to ensure that data are available for the database users.
Appendix B is a listing of all new data submittals in the previous three months. The information in these
$ - submittals may not currently be included in the data dictionary but is available on request. Appendix C shows excerpts from three reports. Report Example #l was written in response to a request for a listing showing the thermal mechanical unit contacts for USV H-5 by elevation. The elevation was calculated by subtracting the interval top from the collar elevation. Example #2 was included to show that the report format depends on the requesters requirements. In this particular report the requestor wanted the report to match the format of an existing report. Again, the data were pulled from several tables and calculations made to present the data in the required format. The third example shows the ease in which data can be taken from the SEPDB and loaded into another software package (usually a statistical package). The request was for an ascii file designed to fit the format requirements of a particular statistical package. The SEPDB staff will work with you to-ensure the data are received in a format that meets your requirements. Please direct any questions to:

The State of Nevada is located in "earthquake country". It lies within the Basin and Range province, one of the most seismically active regions in the | Cr United States. Along with California and Alaska, Nevada ranks in the top I a-l A (I) % three states subject to the most large earthquakes over the last 150 years. | Figure 1 shows the seismicity recorded in Nevada from 1852-1988. Magnitude C 0 3 and 4 earthquakes are commonly felt, but rarely cause damage. Minor to O 0 C° D C!) 0 moderate damage can accompany a magnitude 6 or 6 event, and major damage . 0 on commonly occurs from earthquakes of magnitude 7 and greater. Although *( eD( earthquakes don't occur at regular intervals, the average frequency of earth- C)OD (D'vC quakes of magnitude 6 and greater in Nevada has been about one every ten 0: years, while earthquakes of magnitude 7 and greater average once every 27 *. '#s' . years. i * X D o Geologically young faults, which are the sources of earthquakes, can be found (D throughout the state (fig. 2). Although the largest historical earthquakes I occurred some distance from population centers, no part of the state is far 0 (!X from a potential source of large earthquakes. Large earthquakes occurring along the borders of Nevada, such as the 1872 Owens Valley earthquake in a gC California (magnitude 73-8), can also cause strong shaking and damage in Nevada.
Large earthquakes have occurred in Nevada in the recent past and more will (C 0CD occur in the near future. This pamphlet suggests simple, inexpensive steps C) that can be taken before, during, and after an earthquake to minimize personal l injury and property damage. 0D

University of Nevada-Reno Seismological Laboratory 'This is a partial list of significant, historical earthquakes in Nevada. 'Not necessarily the only communities affected by the earthquake. Earthquake deaths and injuries are seldom caused directly by movement of the ground. Most frequently, injuries are caused by collapse of buildings; flying glass; overturned bookcases, furniture, and appliances; and fires from broken chimneys, broken gas lines, and downed electrical lines. Preparing for earthquakes only takes a little time, foresight, and common sense to imagine what would happen if the ground starts to shake, and how to mitigate or f / prepare for the consequences of shaking. By planning and practicing what to do before an earthquake occurs, you and l your family can learn to react correctly and automatically when the first jolt or , sitt ,-, _- shaking begins.
