ABSTRACT
Key Activities
WBS 1.2.1 SYSTEMS
A performance allocation approach is being implemented to ensure that allinformation required for licensing the repository is available by the end ofthe site-characterization process. The TMSS configuration management groupassumed responsibility for management of controlled documents for WMPO. A newsubterranean model for the immediate study area of the repository zone providesa reference-unit geometry that directly incorporates the estimated effects ofthe Ghost Dance Fault. Three-dimensional unit-thickness data in the form ofDigital Terrain Models will be used with calculations that predict water andradionuclide travel time.
WBS 1.2.2 WASTE PACKAGE
A few minor modifications are being incorporated into the final design drawingsfor the Series 3 spent fuel dissolution test vessel. Fabrication and documen-tation of reference standards has been completed for the Preliminary Ultra-sonics Technique Evaluation. Several thermal analyses for a waste packagecontaining intact PWR spent fuel assemblies are complete.
WBS 1.2.3 SITE
Mapping of three Crater Flat trenches is complete except for final soil-unitdesignations in one trench. Additional data has been collected on the stratig-raphy of freshly exposed Holocene sediments in Las Vegas Wash.
Six neutron access holes in the vicinity of the Exploratory Shaft site havebeen completed. Tritiated water studies on Calico diffusion cells werefinished. Data in the report The Clay Mineralogy of Drill Cores USW G-1, G-2,and G-3: Applications to Past and Future Alterations in Tuff" summarize thetemperatures and timing of past alteration at depth below Yucca Mountain.Direct dating of drusy quartz crystals by electron-spin resonance is planned.The USGS report Complete Bouguer gravity map of Nevada, McDermitt sheet:Nevada Bureau of Mines and Geology Map 86, scale 1:250,000" was published.
WBS 1.2.4 REPOSITORY INVESTIGATIONS
A revised annotated outline for the repository design plan includes elementsfor the waste package and the exporatory shaft. The MRS/Repository InterfaceStudy is complete. Angular-inclination frequencies have been determined, andshear behavior has been summarized using published data on Yucca Mountainfractures and joints. All the cost data for the fuel-rod-consolidatoin studyare now available. The mining portion of the welded-tuff mining evaluation inG-tunnel began. The document "Water Retention Characteristics and SaturatedHydraulic Conductivities of tuffaceous materials from Yucca Mountain - FY 85Results' is ready for distribution.
i
WBS 1.2.5 REGULATORY AND INSTITUTIONAL INVESTIGATIONS
New schedules for SCP preparation are being developed. A new plan allocatesperformance goals to subsystems and components of the postclosure natural andengineered barriers.
WBS 1.2.6 EXPLORATORY SHAFT INVESTIGATIONS
Data on the depth to bedrock at the ES-1 location were obtained for design ofthe ES-1 collar. A completed study estimates the types of fluids and expectedquantities that will be used during construction and operation of the explora-tory shaft facility. Trial stereophotos of the G-tunnel experimental driftwere taken as an analogue for exploratory shaft drift mapping. Integrated DataSystems services that require further definition and investigation wereidentified.
WBS 1.2.7 TEST FACILITIES
All E-MAD fuel assemblies are stored in the Hot Bay Lag Storage Pit. A bro-chure describes the E-MAD facility and its capabilities; its deactivation; andthe caretaker program.
WBS 1.2.9 PROGRAM MANAGEMENT
A standard operating procedure will be developed to cover core sample controland storage.

1.2.1 SYSTEMS
OBJECTIVE
The objective of this task is to apply the concept of systems to the develop-ment and-design of the repository, both the surface and subsurface facilities,and to the evaluation of the effectiveness of the geologic and hydrologicenvironment in isolating radionuclides.
ACTIVITIES*
Systems Management and Integration (November Activities)
SNL personnel formulated an approach for implementing performance allocation inthe NWSI Project. The primary objective of this approach is to ensure thatall information required for ultimately licensing the repository is availableby the end of the site-characterization process. This approach consists of thefollowing steps:
1. Define the system requirements.
2. Define the subsystems and components that make up each system thatmust participate in meeting a requirement.
3. Define the approach that will be used in licensing to show that theperformance objectives are satisfied (a description of which compo-nents will be relied upon and the role of each component).
4. Identify for each component:
a. the applicable performance measures;
b. the goal (value) and indicator of confidence for each measure;
c. the physical parameters-associated with each measure;
d. the range and confidence desired for each parameter;
e. the properties to be measured, where each will be measured, how
each will be measured, and with what precision and accuracy; and
f. the actual confidence achieved for each goal (trace back).
5. Make management decisions on tests according to priority, budgets,etc.
6. Write sections in the Site Characterization Plan (SCP) concerningthis approach and the definitions of the individual tests.
*Entries identified as "November Activities" or "November Report" in thisand the following sections are taken from the SNL November report.
1-1
7. Complete the tests and compile results.
8. Complete the performance assessment for the license application.
With input from LLNL, SNL completed examples of the first three steps in thisapproach for the four system-level postclosure performance objectives.
System Description (November Activities)
The SR document (Milestone M120) was changed at SNL to address commentsresulting from editorial, peer, and initial management review and submitted forfurther management review.
Systems Studies (November Activities)
R. F. Weston, Inc., has revised Appendix B of the report "Generic Requirementsfor a Mined Geologic Disposal Systemu and has submitted the revision to DOE-HQfor approval.
Cost Schedule (November Activities)
The third progress-review meeting was held at Los Alamos on November 20-21,1985. The architect/engineers delivered their estimate of the bare costs forinitial construction, assuming vertical-emplacement, plus life-cycle costs foroperations and maintenance. Chapter 5, the Cost Estimate Summary Format, wasestablished, and other details were discussed.
The Los Alamos National Laboratories cost-estimating system and the remainingData General software have been installed at SNL. Some minor enhancements willbe added and of instruction is needed before the system will be productive.
Systems Engineering Integration
The task plan for systems engineering was finalized for submittal to WMPO.
T&MSS staff members participated in a preparation meeting at SNL for theSystems Engineering Management Plan (SEMP). A draft annotated outline wasfinalized and writing responsibilities for specific sections were assigned tocontributors (SNL, LLNL, and SAIC). Drafts are scheduled to be transmitted toSNL by January 6, 1986.
Configuration Management
The SAIC Configuration Management (CM) staff will draft sections of the SEMPrelating to baseline management and provide recommended changes toAdministrative Procedure (AP) 3.3, Change Process, for the NNWSI Project toreflect the baseline management of technical documents.
Presentations of a proposed approach to CM were made to WMPO staff and agree-ment was reached to proceed with development of a Configuration Management Plan(CMP). Draft order DOE 4700 will serve as a guide for the required organiza-tion of the draft CMP with completion scheduled for mid-February 1986.
1-2
During December the TMSS CM staff assumed responsibility for the management ofcontrolled documents for both T&MSS and WMPO. An audit of existing OGR base-line documents was made at WMPO and T&MSS. As a result, it was decided toreissue these controlled documents to ensure each party had the latest revi-sions received from DOE/HQ. To further support this effort a proposed newadministrative procedure was drafted for the Management of ControlledDocuments. The draft will be presented to WMPO during January 1986 for reviewand approval.
As a result of a policy decision at the November 1, 1985, Change Control Board(CCB) meeting, the CM staff began developing a set of Level 1 milestones totrack all HQ requests for additional work. These will be presented monthly tothe CCB for baseline actions.
The WBS was modified to reflect the use of the digit '1' in place of the char-acter 'X' to signify the OGR Program as part of the OCRWM Program. Changeswere also made to the Systems Engineering, Repository Management and Integra-tion, and Project Management elements of the WBS. The WBS Dictionary was alsomodified to reflect these changes.
An updated listing of baselined milestones was forwarded to the NNWSI Projectparticipants. The listing reflected changes approved by the NNWSI ProjectChange Control Board (CCB) at the December 6 meeting.
Modifications of the budget baseline were approved for FY 85 to reflect thefinal FIN Plan for SAIC, SNL, and USGS. Additional changes for the NTS con-tractors are required to balance the baseline to the final FY 85 FIN Plan.Input has not been received for the FY 86 baseline.
Technical Data Base Management
Tuff Data Base (November Activities)
Quality-assurance (QA) data verification was carried out on stratigraphicinformation for five NNWSI drillholes. Valid QA verification dates for theseholes will be entered into the TUFFDB during the next update session, scheduledfor the second week in December 1985.
A water-chemistry section has been prepared for addition to the TFFDB schema.In December a trial run will be attempted in which a duplicate copy of theTUFFDB will be unloaded, restructured, and reloaded. Only after careful check-ing of the results will the schema change be implemented for the productionversion of the TUFFDB.
SNL and Los Alamos personnel met to discuss present and future availability ofgeochemistry data for inclusion in the TUFFDB. The objectives and structure ofthe data base were reviewed, as were the procedures for data-entry authoriza-tion and data control. Operation of the TUFFDB Interface from a remote site(Los Alamos, NM) was successfully demonstrated.
1-3
First drafts of the TUFFDB Product-Control Plans and Project-Control Procedureswere completed. Existing data-entry software is being reviewed for adequacywith respect to (1) data verification, (2) ease of entry, and (3) ability toaccommodate future revisions to the schema. The software will be modified asnecessary and documented as part of the implementation of the QA plan.
Computer Graphics (November Activities)
A new subterranean model for the mmediate study area of the repository zonlehas been generated on the Interactive Graphics Information System (IGIS). Thenew model provides a reference-unit geometry that directly incorporates theestimated effects of the Ghost Dance Fault. Verification of this fault-adjusted model s continuing.
Three-dimensional unit-thickness data in the form of Digital Terrain Models(DTMs) have been derived and supplied for use with calculations that predictwater and radionuclide travel times. Multiple iterations of the travel-timecalculations are being generated for sensitivity analysis, and isochron mapsand statistical studies of the calculations are also being generated.
Reference Information Base (November Activities)
SNL and Los Alamos personnel met to discuss the objectives and proposed contentof the Reference Information Base (RIB). The current outline of the RIB isstructured to coincide with the NNWSI Project Issues Hierarchy. Staff from LosAlamos suggested that adherence to the Annotated Table of Contents of the SiteCharacterization Plan (SCP) might provide a more stable framework for the RIB.The structure of the RIB warrants further-examination.
Total Systems Performance Assessment
Flow and Radionuclide Transport (November Activities)
SNL staff are preparing a draft report entitled, "Preliminary Estimates ofGroundwater Travel Time and Radionuclide Transport at Yucca Mountain RepositorySite." This draft report will satisfy a new milestone as a referenceablereport for the final EA. The report summarizes the assumptions, data, methods,and results used in the revised EA for groundwater-travel-time distribution and
-cumulative radionuclide releases to the water table.
SNL staff members began peer review on a contractor report from LawrenceBerkeley Laboratory (LBL) entitled "Hydrologic Mechanisms Governing PartiallySaturated Fluid Flow in Fractured Welded Units and Porous Nonwelded Units atYucca Mountain" SAND85-7114 (Milestone N117). It presents the parametricresults of simulation for the infiltration of water through alternating layersof welded and nonwelded units at Yucca Mountain under steady and transientconditions.
Radionuclide Releases from Total System (November Activities)
The document entitled "Estimation of Hydrologic Properties for an Unsaturated,Fractured Rock Mass" (SAND84-2642) has received both technical and policyreview at WMPO and was returned with minor comments.
1-4
A seismic-tectonic workshop is scheduled for December 3-4, 1985, in Washington,D.C. On November 13-14, 1985, a member of SNL's Performance-Assessment Groupattended a preworkshop meeting in Las Vegas, NV, and spoke on various seismicand tectonic issues. A rough draft of a position paper concerning conceptualmodels, data, and calculations was distributed at the meeting.
SNL staff are preparing the TOSPAC drivers to ensure that (1) they conform tostandard FORTRAN 77, (2) they are logically consistent for all modules, and(3) TRANS and its graphics driver become fully integrated with the main menu.
Staff at SNL are studying the advective and diffusive terms in the radionuclidetransfer function between matrix and fracture flows. Numerical difficulties(too-short time steps) continue to be uncovered when the current approximationsto the advective and diffusive terms are used in the finite-difference versionof the transport model. One suggestion is to use the concept of concentrationequilibrium (concentration in fracture water equals concentration in matrixwater) until the theoretical and numerical difficulties are fixed. Assumptionof concentration equilibrium leads to a single transport equation with aneffective transport speed equal to the retarded fracture linear velocity.Several other ideas for alleviating the problems are being investigated.
PLANNED WORK
It is anticipated that binders containing baseline policy, program, and projectguidance information will be distributed during January 1986.
November Report
An effort will be made at SNL during the next 6 weeks to complete the perfor-mance allocation process for the four postclosure requirements through at leaststep 4c. These results will be used at an SCP workshop to be held duringJanuary 1986. The objective of this workshop is to establish an NNWSI Projectlicensing strategy that will ultimately allow the project to set priorities forall site-characterization activities.
Work will begin during December on the development of an NNWSI Project SystemStudies Register that provides information on all existing and planned NNWSIProject system studies. The register is required by the OGR SEMP.
The fourth progress-review meeting for the cost-estimate report is planned forDecember 16, 1985. Preliminary drafts of each chapter and the appendices willbe presented. During Janaury 1986, drafts will be compiled into a "preliminarydrafts report and will be compared to the first draft of the RepositoryConceptual Design in Support of Site Characterization (RCD/SC) document.
Significant quantities of new geochemical data are currently stored on magnetictape at Los Alamos. SNL staff members will develop a method of data transferfrom tape directly to the TUFFOB so that sorption and mineralogy data sets canbe input into the TUFFDB with minimal human intervention (i.e., manual tran-scription) and attendant errors.
1-5
Flow and radionuclide transport work at SNL during December 1985 and January1986 will focus on the continued modeling of the movement of fluids through theYucca Mountain site. The report on groundwater travel times and cumulativeradionuclide releases used in the EA will be reviewed and revised.
PROBLEM AREAS (November Report)
The participation of Sandia staff n the production of the document will likelydelay the preparation of the SD document.
A meeting to discuss revisions in the Radionuclide Releases from Total Systemtask and other SNL tasks was held on November 12. As a result of this meeting,considerable changes in the scope of WBS 1.2.1.4.4 were proposed; the contentand schedule of old milestones were revised and some new milestones were addedto the task. None of the proposed changes have so far been approved by SNLmanagement or MPO.
The computer telecommunications link between SNL and the architect/engineersthat will be used to transfer the cost data base still needs to be established.Efforts by Data General, the modem supplier, and several other telecommunica-tions authorities have been unable to solve the problem.

1.2.2 WASTE PACKAGE
OBJECTIVE
The primary objective of this task is to develop a technical basis and engi-neering capability to design, test, and fabricate a waste package that iscompatible with the hydrological conditions and geochemical environment in theunsaturated zone beneath Yucca Mountain.
ACTIVITIES
Package Environment
Two short-term tests with Yucca Mountain vitric tuff began on December 2 atLLNL. These hydrothermal interaction tests, run in the Dickson-type gold-bagrocking autoclave, are being done in conjunction with Los Alamos to investigatethe hydrothermal stability of vitric tuff from the Topopah Spring tuff andunderlying units. This cooperative research effort will complement previousfield studies to evaluate the susceptibility of vitrophyre to thermal altera-tion by emplacement of HLW in Yucca Mountain.
The characterization work continued on the control (unreacted) sample fromUE24a#1-1297. This is the material currently being run in test DB24. Thecharacterization includes scanning electron microscope observation and electronmicroprobe analyses concentrating on the zeolite and clay into which theoriginally glassy sample has been altered. Characterization by x-ray diffrac-tion and NAA has been completed and a BET surface area measurement is beingmade. Similar Furnace temperature controllers were modified to provide a 0-1volt analog output, rather than t'-ing off the thermocouple, as an inputsignal source for the datalogger. This change provides a more accurate recordof temperature during the tests.
The final report from LLNL for FY 85 entitled "Hydrology of Topopah SpringTuff--Laboratory Measurements" has been peer-reviewed and submitted to WMPO forreview.
A-test sample has been successfully obtained from the core of hole USW H-6 at1,109 feet. The prosity and density of the sample are being determined.
Additional equipment (but not all that was ordered) has arrived at LLNL and hasbeen integrated into the automated CIT system.
LLNL staff members presented a paper entitled "Monitoring Water Movement inLaboratory Samples of Topopah Spring Tuff" at the Fall Annual Meeting of theAmerican Geophysical Union in San Francisco, CA.

Waste Form and Materials Testing
Waste Form Testing
A design review for the Series 3 spent fuel dissolution test vessel resulted ina few minor modifications, which are being incorporated into the final designdrawings. This vessel s to be made from stainless steel and will be used fortesting at temperatures up to 90 C.
Work continued at LLNL on data reduction for the Series 2 spent fuel dissolu-tion tests, conducted at ambient temperature using J-13 well 'water. A computerdisk containing the solution chemistry data was received at LLNL late in themonth. That data will be used in the report on release rate estimates forspend fuel in the repository.
The topical report One Yea'r Results of the NNWSI Unsaturated Test Procedure:SRL Glass Application" has been approved by WMPO and returned to LLNL forpublication.
Staff members at LLNL are conducting parametric testing to investigate theeffects of test parameters on the results of the unsaturated test. Test P-IIuses all teflon vessels and sample holders to examine the release from glassalone. The tests with a scheduled termination are now complete. Two testswhich are sampled every 6.5 weeks are continuing through week 91.
Test P-11 studies the effect of reducing the ratio of cast to cut surfaces onthe glass waste form by using half-sized glass castings. Stainless steelholders like those of the unsaturated test are used. These tests are completethrough 52 weeks, with continuous tests still in progress.
Current work on static testing of 76-68 based glasses is almost complete; twomore samples of ATM-1, a uranium doped glass, are still in progress. ICPanalysis of the solutions is underway. The preparation of the report on thetuff reaction vessel testing has progressed with evaluation of the neptuniumand plutonium concentrations in the inner and outer volumes of the tuffreaction vessels.
Work on the library of infrared spectra of phases important in nuclear wastealteration continued at LLNL with the examination of the extensive suite oftobermorites of various chemistries and morphologies which were synthesizedhydrothermally. Raman spectroscopy is being used to identify precipitates.This information will serve as a primary input to long-term waste form altera-tion modeling using EQ3/6.
Metal Barriers Testing
The corrosion behavior of the three candidate copper base materials (CDA 102,613, and 715) is being investigated in irradiated and unirradiated J-13 water,wet steam, and dry steam environments. Work currently being performed undersubcontract to Westinghouse Hanford involves exposure of weight loss, creviced,and welded U-bend specimens of the candidate materials to irradiated J-13 waterand vapor.
2-2
The possibility of a detrimental interaction between a copper container andZircaloy spent fuel cladding is being investigated at LLNL and WestinghouseHanford Company as part of the copper container feasibility study.
Work is in progress on predicting long-term changes in the corrosion potentialof container materials and determining the critical electrochemical potentialsfor the initiation of phenomena such as pitting corrosion, crevice corrosion,and stress corrosion. Some 12 chemical species (water and 11 radiolytic decom-position products of water) and 34 reactions are being considered in the radi-olysis of water films on metal surfaces.
The Metal Barriers strategy plan in preparation at LLNL will list candidatecontainer materials, applicable degradation modes, tests, experiments, andmodeling calculations, with an analysis and prioritization of the tests neededfor each candidate material.
The Materials Review Board of DOE sponsored an ad hoc corrosion panel to reviewthe corrosion testing activities of each repository project. The panelreviewed the NNWSI Project in June 1985. Responses to review comments will besent through the appropriate channels in DOE.
A number of new subcontract activities began in December at LLNL. Theseinclude Investigations of Crevice Corrosion Mechanisms in Candidate AusteniticStainless Steels," *Thermodynamic Modeling of Sensitization and StressCorrosion Cracking Performance of Candidate Austenitic Stainless Steel," and'Copper/Zircaloy Galvanic Interaction Studies." Renewed subcontracts include'Gamma Field Copper Corrosion Studies," "Support to Copper FeasibilityEvaluation," and Tuff Waste Package Structural Barriers Materials Study."
Integrated Testing
LLNL staff members continued efforts to find a method for wafering 1-inchdiameter tuff cores without using a lubricant for the wafering blade. The tuffcore, through which a uranium solution has been passed, is now being wafered bysimultaneously passing the low-speed saw blade through a 1/4-inch piece ofpolystyrene.
In order to measure the pore volume in a tuff core, a groundwater that con-tained tritium was passed through the core. It is usually assumed the tritiumdoes not interact with the rock material, and that the elution volume of otherelements with respect to tritium can be used to calculate retardation factors.
Design, Fabricate, and Prototype Testing
LLNL, SNL, and SAIC representatives met on December 17 and 18 to discuss possi-ble emplacement strategies to optimize waste package thermal histories, hori-zontal versus vertical emplacement status and performance issues, and wastepackage "performance confirmation" planning.
Fabrication and documentation of reference standards has been completed by LLNLstaff for the Preliminary Ultrasonics Technique Evaluation. This evaluationinvolves a feasibility study of ultrasonics as a nondestructive examination forthe final closure weld certification of disposal containers.
2-3
A two-dimensional axisymmetric structural analysis has been done to simulate a5-meter end drop of a fully loaded West Valley high level waste canister on anunyielding surface.
Sandia and LLNL staff members met to discuss various aspects of therepository/waste package design and agreed on a number of constraints forfuture thermal design studies.
Thermal analysis is continuing at LLNL to assess the effects of spent fuelburnup, age at emplacement, and emplacement spacing on container performancefor designs with intact assemblies and repository-consolidited fuel. Fivethermal analyses were completed for a waste package containing intact PWR spentfuel assemblies.
QA procedures are being written by LLNL staff for laboratory tests that will beused to determine the structural failure criteria for nonlinear large deforma-tions of the container as a result of possible accident scenarios at theproposed repository. The tests being planned are intermediate strain rate uni-axial tests on two materials at two different temperatures, as well as a staticuniaxial test on each material at room temperature for comparison purposes.These procedures will include QA level II controls.
November Activities. SNL staff are estimating costs for the hybrid wastepackage. This package is designed to accommodate three pressurized waterreactor (PWR) and four boiling-water reactor (BWR) fuel assemblies. If fuelconsolidation is not used, this waste container results in significant savingscompared to the all-BWR and all-PWR containers currently considered for therepository.
Performance Assessment
Work continued by LLNL staff on the on the Waste Package System Model, thehydrothermal analysis of the waste package environment, and the preparation ofthe Systems Engineering Management Plan.
An investigation of sensitivity and uncertainty analysis techniques was initi-ated at LLNL to check that the first-generation deterministic system model willhave the appropriate structure and compatible outputs so that they can beadapted later to existing sensitivity and uncertainty analysis methodologies.Detailed design and coding of the system model will begin as soon as thisspecification review has been completed and the program description revisedaccordingly.
Most work on the hydrothermal analysis effort was directed toward the debuggingand modification of WAFE to run the original COVE 3 and the related (open bore-hole boundary condition) problems. Corrections to the WAFE relative permea-bility algorithm are being incorporated into the code. Problems to be investi-gated during 1986 have been organized and assigned priorities. These include15 definitions, covering both performance assessment and exploratory shaftwork.
2-4
On December 9-10 representatives from LLNL, SNL, and SAIC met in Albuquerque toplan and initiate production of the Systems Engineering Management Plan.Individual writing assignments are to be completed early next month and a draftshould be available by late January.
Waste package staff at LLNL reviewed several SCP production schedule optionsand provided comments to SAIC. Representatives from the NNWSI Project, BWIP,SRPO, and DOE/HQ met in Washington, D.C., on December 17-18 to discuss detailsof the schedule options prepared by each project and to develop integratedschedules for the SCP production.
PLANNED WORK
The C-ring experiments are expected to start in January at LLNL. Weights suit-able for applying the force to the apparatus arms have been fabricated andcalibrated on certified scales.
In January a coupon set of austenitic stainless steels in 100 C J-13 water andwet steam is scheduled for examination at LLNL.
To further model possible large deformations of the West Valley high levelwaste canister, LLNL staff will prepare a three-dimensional simulation of a5-meter end drop on the corner of the canister using the nonlinear dynamicanalysis code, DYNA3D.
PROBLEM AREAS
The report from the Materials Characterization Center on the mislabelingincident for two ATM-101 spent fuel segments is quite thorough. It presents aconvincing case that the rod used in the experimental work was not involved inthis incident, and its identity is not in question.
The report on release rate testing of spent fuel in J-13 water at ambienttemperature (M232) will be further delayed due to preparation of the test planfor the Series 3 tests. The delivery requirements have been divided into twopieces. The first, the tabulated solution chemistry data, was delivered toLLNL by Westinghouse Hanford Company in December. The second piece, the finalwritten report, will be prepared as soon as the Series 3 tests. Delivery of adraft report to LLNL in March is anticipated with delivery to WMPO of a finalversion in April.
At LLNL new staff members will need to be located to study the effects of groutand concrete on waste form performance.
MILESTONE PROGRESS
Final revisions were completed by LLNL personnel to the report on "RockingAutoclave Studies Using Core Wafers of Topopah Spring Tuff and J-13 Water"(W282) and the report was delivered to WMPO.
2-5
Two reports, Hydrothermal Interaction of Solid Wafers of Topopah Spring Tuffwith J-13 Water at 90 C and 150 C Using Dickson-Type Gold-Cell Rocking Auto-claves: 2. Long Term Experiments" (W281) and "The Reaction of Topopah SpringTuff, Glass and J-13 Water in a Gamma Radiation Field" (W210), have beensubmitted for review. Delivery to WMPO is expected in January. The title of,Milestone W281 has been changed to reflect the fact that solid wafers, ratherthan crushed tuff, were used in the experiment.
There remains some confusion over whether the combined M-235 and M-236 is aLevel I or Level II milestone. Representatives from LLNL, WMPO, and SAIC willmeet in early January to go over the network charts, and establish realisticdates for completion of the milestones.
Milestones for the subtask "Design, Fabricate, and Prototype Testing," are noton schedule. The Office of Geologic Repositories schedule for development ofprogram-wide guidance on Advanced Conceptual Design (ACD) phase activities isnot yet determined and will impact the formal initiation of the ACD. TheseLevel I milestones are to be rescheduled following resolution of the guidance.
WMPO approved the report on "Test Results for Glass Waste Forms using theUnsaturated Test Method" (M225).

1.2.3 SITE
OBJECTIVE
The objective of this task is to determine whether Yucca Mountain is a suitablelocation for a high-level waste repository. The effort is divided into twoareas of study. The first is understanding the characteristics of the rockmass that lies below the surface of Yucca Mountain. This encompasses thegeology (structure and stratigraphy), hydrology (both saturated and unsaturatedzone), geochemistry (chemical reactions that can be expected when waste isemplaced), and mineralogy and petrology (the study of the materials that willcontrol the isolation and engineering characteristics of the rock). The secondis understanding the processes and events that could occur in the area sur-rounding Yucca Mountain that could serve as potential disruptive forces. Theseefforts include the study of tectonics, seismicity, and volcanism, and theregional hydrologic, paleohydrologic, and paleoclimatologic systems.
ACTIVITIES
Management and Integration
Work continued on the FY 86 task plans, work packages, and cost accounts. TheEnvironmental Compliance Network Schedule was updated and sent to ProjectManagement Support Division for revision. The cost accounts and milestones arebeing incorporated into the earned value system.
Geologic Investigations
Site Geology
Mapping and description of fractures by USGS personnel continued at threerecently washed pavement areas (shallow soil cover removed from bedrocksurfaces by pumper truck) at Yucca Mountain, Busted Butte, and Fran Ridge.
Topographic Analysis
Work continued at USGS on three topographic maps of the area to the east of.that covered by the six topographic maps submitted for USGS publicationapproval in September.
Geophysical Investigations
Gravity and Magnetics
A regional magnetotelluric survey in the southern part of the NTS is beginningthis year (1986). The aims are to map the crustal electrical structure acrossthe Walker Lane and Walker Belt, to map the depth to crustal conductivity zonein the study region, and to investigate electrical signatures that may relateto gneissic domes (core complexes) and magma chambers within and peripheral andto the Test Site. Previous geoelectrical and related geophysical data havebeen reveiwed and compiled on a base map. Field work is scheduled to beginthis spring.
3-1
A technical letter report, Gravity Interpretation of Frenchman Flat andVicinity, Nevada Test Site: USGS Technical Letter NTS-03, has been updated andis being processed for re-issue as an Open-File Report.
Work continued at USGS on the 1:100,000-scale gravity and magnetic maps of theNTS and vicinity, Beatty, Pahute Mesa, Pahranagat Range, and Indian Springsquadrangles.
The report "Borehole Gravity Meter Survey in Drill Hole USW G-4, Yucca MountainArea, Nye County, Nevada," was submitted for approval after update ofreviewers' comments.
The USGS report "Complete Bouguer Gravity MAP OF NEVADA, MCDERMITT SHEET:NEVADA BUREAU OF MINES AND GEOLOGY MAP 86, SCALE 1:250,000," WAS PUBLISHED THISMONTH.
Seismic Investigations
Preparation began for a field trip to Crater Flat for a joint seismic reflec-tion and gravity survey across the Bare Mountain fault zone.
Detailed interpretation continued at USGS of deep refraction data from longseismic lines traversing the repository site region. These include N-S linesin Crater Flat and along Forty-mile Wash, E-W lines across B area and YuccaMountain, and a parallel line across the Amargosa Desert.
Rock Properties
Paleomagnetic data from numerous outcrop localities in the vicinity of YuccaMountain are being used to provide constraints on interpretations of structuralrotations. In particular, directions of remanent magnetization have beenobtained from 17 sites in the Tiva Canyon Member of the Paintbrush Tuff, 10sites in the Topopah Spring Member of the Paintbrush tuff, and 5 sites in theProw Pass Member of the Crater Flat Tuff. Comparison of results from 3 closelygrouped sites (one in each of the above units) located at the extreme southerntip of Yucca Mountain with results from the northern and central part of theYucca Mountain block demonstrates that the remanent directions from each of thesouthern sites are rotated 25-350 in a clockwise sense (about a vertical axis)with respect to directions from the northern and central part of the block.The structural implications (e.g., how this rotation may be related to movementon strike-slip shear zones) are under investigation.
Site Stability
Tectonics and Volcanism
USGS staff have completed all trench mapping of Crater Flat trenches CF-2,CF-2.5 (new), and CF-3, except for final soil-unit designations in CF-2. Theage of the youngest faulting episode at the Crater Flat trenches is beingrefined by thermoluminescence dating.
Los Alamos staff began the planning of procedures for revising probability cal-culations of volcanism to incorporate recently developed tectonic models forthe localization of sites of Quaternary volcanism in the Crater Flat area. The
3-2
bounding structure of this area is the Bare Mountain fault and the inferredextension of the Bare Mountain fault to the southeast. Sites of volcanicactivity appear to be concentrated along northeast-trending faults of theSpotted Range-Mine Mountain structural system of Carr (1984) near the inter-section with the Bare Mountain fault system. It may be possible to identifypotential structural pathways for future volcanic activity by using a combina-tion of existing surface mapping and aeromagnetic data obtained by the USGS.
Isotope Geology
Continuing uranium-series geochronologic studies of quaternary deposits in theAmargosa River Valley near Beatty, Nevada, add to the understanding of the geo-morphic history of this drainage. A fan that was deposited on the west side ofBare Mountain (west of the NTS) and is truncated by the Beatty scarp waspreviously dated using the uranium-trend dating method, but the date wasquestionable. A pit was dug on a flat, geomorphically stable portion of thisfan and the soil was resampled for U-trend dating. A new U-trend date derivedon the new samples agrees with the previous age estimate within experimentalerror. In addition, carbonate pebble rinds were analyzed for dating byconventional closed-system uranium-series methods. Further studies are inprogress to determine whether the 80,000-year fan deposits are of regionalsignificance or are only of local extent.
Seismicity and Strain
The seismic network for recording natural seismic events in southern Nevadacontinued in operation throughout the month, and all data processing has beenbrought up to date.
Hydrology
Streamflow
USGS personnel spent several days at the Las Vegas Wash during the first weekof December collecting additional data on stratigraphy of freshly exposedHolocene sediments in the Wash channel.
Groundwater Flow Analysis
Additional temperature logs were obtained from 8 wells at Franklin Lake playa,for use in determining upward groundwater movement. These additional logs havebeen plotted and processed.
USGS personnel instrumented test holes UE-25c#1, c2 and c#3 with transducersand completed instrumentation of the logging truck for recording this data inpreparation for the upcoming drift pumpback tracer test.
HPLC instrumentation for the analysis of fluorocarbons has been set up at TestCell C and plans are to test the HPLC on January 12-17.
Saturated-Zone Hydrology
One-dimensional simulations designed to estimate vertical flux through theunsaturated zone have begun with S2D, a computer program written by the USGS
3-3
-that is designed to solve problems in variably saturated porous media. Initialpressure boundary conditions are based on moisture characteristic curveparameters and neutron logs obtained in the lab and field.
USGS and SAIC/Golden staffs met December 5-6 to discuss current and futureplans to characterize the hydrology of the saturated zone at Yucca Mountain.
Unsaturated-Zone Hydrology
The drilling of six neutron access holes in the vicinity of the ExploratoryShaft site was completed.
Construction of a second calibration chamber for calibration of neutron andgamma-gamma borehole geophysical tools was completed.
The quarterly meeting to discuss the unsaturated-zone groundwater flow modelsfor Yucca Mountain was held at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory on December 16.Discussions and reports covered completion of compilation and analysis of allcurrently available hydrologic-parameter data for the Yucca Mountain tuffs,refinement of the hydrogeostratigraphic units underlying Yucca Mountain,refinement of the conceptual model boundary conditions, and the results ofstochastic modeling derived by using statistical distributions for thesaturated hydraulic conductivities of' the Paintbrush and Calico Hills hydra-stratigraphic units under surface recharge rates of 1, 2, 3, and 4 mm/yr.Other reports covered the status of the current fracture-matrix flow work, theplanned code development, and the simulation of vertical infiltration into afractured rock matrix using Kenji's discrete-fracture generator and assumedvalues of saturated hydraulic conductivities in the matrix and fractures.
Future Hydrologic Conditions
Future Climates. Coring along the south shore of Walker Lake by USGS personnelbegan on December 11. The new coring is an attempt to fill in intervals thatwere not recovered during the previous coring of Walker Lake.
A sample of core taken from the East Site at Franklin Lake playa was prelimi-narily examined for the presence of ostracods. Ostracods were found, but addi-tional analysis will be required to determine the type of environment in whichthey lived. This finding is encouraging as it may lead to a better understand-ing of the types of environments that existed in the history of Franklin Lakeand that could be determined from additional analyses of core already obtained.
Future Groundwater Systems. Some progress was made by USGS staff in finishingthe 3-D model calibration and application of the model to problems ofgroundwater development near Yucca Mountain.
Geochemistry
The groundwater chemistry section of Chapter 4 of the Site CharacterizationPlan was revised to conform to guidelines and to comments of the reviewcommittee.
3-4
Los Alamos staff members began a literature search to assess the feasibility oflooking at natural uranium series disequilibrium in groundwater at YuccaMountain in order to determine the retardation of naturally radioactive ele-ments in the groundwater. Data will be gathered on the abundance andvariability of uranium, thorium, and radium in the tuffs of Yucca Mountain.
A talk Qn the thermodynamics of aalcime was presented by Los Alamos personnelat the American Geophysical Union meeting in San Francisco. The primarypurpose of the presentation was to increase awareness of the importance ofsilica activity in the mineralogic evolution of vitric tuffs such as thosefound in Yucca Mountain.
Los Alamos personnel finished tritiated water studies on Calico diffusioncells, began a technecium-95m diffusion experiment on Calico diffusion cells,and also ran a Sulforhodamine B dye experiment on fracture networks.
Los Alamos personnel are developing a computer program to facilitate thestatistical evaluation of data sets by various models with final graphing ofboth raw data and fitted curves.
Batch sorption measurements, with routinely dried plutonium for the feed solu-tion, have been made in air and in a carbon dioxide-controlled-atmosphereenvironment. The samples have been counted, and the data are being analyzed.
A talk entitled Modeling Tracer Diffusion and Flow Experiments Using TRACR3D"was presented at the Los Alamos NWSI Project Seminar Series.
A literature review confirms that at present there is no unified modelingapproach to colloid transport other than the population balance model by Travisand Nuttall. A paper on radiocolloid modeling is being prepared at Los Alamoswith the intention of submitting it to Water Resources Research.
Papers entitled "Numerical Solution of Unsaturated Flow and Transport Using theDynamics of Contours Method" and "Regularized Optimal Control Approach toInversion of Tracer Data' were presented at the American Geophysical UnionMeeting on December 9-14. At sessions of this meeting on unsaturated-zone geo-physics, the USGS staff members presented several papers pertaining to YuccaMountain, advances in hydraulic testing and tracer methods, computer-intensivestatistical methods, and general groundwater.
A milestone report (R376, Kriging for Interpolation of Sparse and IrregularlyDistributed Geological Data") was completed and revised.
Mineralogy and Petrology
Data in the report The Clay Mineralogy of Drill Cores USW G-1, G-2, and G-3:Applications to Past and Future Alterations in Tuff" summarize the temperaturesand timing of past alteration at depth below Yucca Mountain. Hydrothermalalteration has occurred in the past, but such high-temperature alterationappears to be an early event that occurred soon after the major caldera erup-tions of Paintbrush or Timber Mountain time. Direct potassium-argon dating ofillites helps to constrain the early age of hydrothermal alteration.
3-5
Direct dating of drusy quartz crystals by electron-spin resonance is alsoplanned. These studies should help to define the age of early high-temperaturealteration in tuffs at several depths and localities around Yucca Mountain andwill be of particular importance for constraining the age of drusy quartz foundin the tuffs exposed by Trench 14.
Drilling
Drilling, Construction, Engineering
Before the holiday season, USGS staff members completed 50 percent of thedrilling program for neutron access holes. The tentative date for completionof the program is February 14, 1986.

The draft tourism report is being revised and will be published in February1986 as an EA-referenceable document.
Performance Assessment
Geochemical Modeling Code EQ3/6
EQ3NR has been successfully converted and run on the Ridge minicomputer work-station at LLNL. However, solutions more concentrated than sea water cannot berun until the preprocessor for Pitzer coefficient data is converted. At thattime, work on the conversion of EQ6 will begin.
3-6
A bibliographic data base of thermodynamic and kinetic literature is beingdeveloped to allow the EQ3/6 group to stay current with the wide range ofscientific literature that is now appearing in these'areas.
PLANNED WORK
Los Alamos will continue analysis of thenmogravimetric analytical data, preparea report on the thermodynamics of albite, and extend modeling of kinetic con-trols on the distribution of silica polymorphs in Yucca Mountain.
At Los Alamos the data set will be reorganized and fitted to various models.These models include the linear, Langmuir, Freudlich, and Modified Freundlichisotherms. The fit of data to those models will also be evaluatedstatistically.

OBJECTIVE
The objective of this task is to develop the engineering capability to design,construct, operate, and decommission a repository in tuff. Four specifictechnical areas are involved that include (1) determination of the physical andmechanical properties of the rock matrix and rock mass that are important tothe design and construction of an underground structure;- (2) engineeringanalysis and evaluation of technical details that are important to the designand operation of a repository; (3) development of the techniques of sealing arepository as part of decommissioning; and (4) preparation of a site-specificdesign that will be accommodated within the development of the equipment toconstruct the repository, handle the waste and waste package, and transfer thewaste package within the repository system.
ACTIVITIES
Management and Integration
Management
A mining engineer has accepted an offer to join the T&MSS staff and anotheroffer has been made to an engineering geologist.
T&MSS staff members attended waste package strategy and coordination groupmeetings in Richland on December 3 and 4, a Weston/DOE review meeting inLas Vegas on December 8 and 9, and a LLNL and SNL Workshop on technical issuesand performance confirmation at LLNL on December 17-18.
Major Design Deliverables (November Activities)
The repository Design Plan will provide a management plan for the design of theYucca Mountain repository. The management plan will contain a design scope, aschedule with milestones for each phase of the design, and a cost estimate forall repository-design activities. A revised annotated outline that includesthe waste-package and exploratory-shaft elements has been prepared. Prepara-tion of the text is underway.
The document previously known as the "Site Characterization Plan ConceptualDesign Report" (SCP-CDR) (Milestone M432) is now entitled the "RepositoryConceptual Design in Support of Site Characterization" (RCD/SC). Based onrecent network analysis, the first draft of the document is scheduled to beavailable in mid-February 1986. A draft edited and ready for peer review isexpected by mid-March 1986. After January 1, 1986, priority will be given tothe RCD/SC to advance the status of this document until it is comparable withthat of Chapter 6 of the SCP.
4-1
Engineering Design Support: Special Studies (November Activities)
SNL and Bechtel National, Inc., (BNI) have completed work for the MRS/Repository Interface Study, which is under the direction of the DOE's Office ofGeologic Repositories (OGR). The report "Impact on Costs and Schedules of,Using a MRS Facility in Conjunction with a Repository in Tuff at YuccaMountainM (SAND85-7112), prepared by BNI, is being edited in preparation forpeer review. A draft of this document was delivered to the OGR in August 1985to fulfill FY 85 Milestone R014.
Development and Testing
Rock Mechanics (November Activities)
Published data on Yucca Mountain fractures and joints from a number of sourceshave been analyzed at SNL so that the data can be readily incorporated intonumerical analyses. Angular-inclination frequencies have been determined fromdrillhole data, normal closure behavior has been approximated from fluid-flowexperiments, and shear behavior has been summarized from laboratoryexperiments.
Preliminary results are in from additions to Analysis #7, Near-Field BoreholeThermomechanical." These analyses model the thermal response of a representa-tive stratigraphic section at Yucca Mountain. Certain of these thermal-analysis results will serve as input to a thermomechanical analysis to beperformed by the performance-assessment staff.
The first round of explosives was detonated on November 20 for the mining por-tion of the welded-tuff mining evaluation in G-Tunnel. Staff from ParsonsBrinckerhoff Quade & Douglas, Inc. (PBQD), supervised the drilling and blastingoperations and will do the mining evaluations. USGS staff mapped fractures inthe welded tuff as part of the overall evaluation.
At SNL mineralogic and petrologic characterization is almost complete for tuffsamples that will undergo heat-capacity measurement. Samples of the welded,devitrified Topopah Spring Member, the basal vitrophyre, the nonwelded vitricTopopah Spring member, and the zeolitized Calico Hills have been examined.Mineralogic and petrologic data from these samples are being used as input totheoretical models that estimate heat capacity.
The document entitled Water Retention Characteristics and Saturated HydraulicConductivities of Tuffaceous materials from Yucca Mountain - FY 85 Results" wasreviewed and approved for distribution. The conference paper entitled "FluidFlow in a fractured Rock Mass* (SAND85-08550) has been approved by WMPO.
Mercury-intrusion data for samples.collected from approximately 80 differentlocations at Yucca Mountain are being used at SNL to calculate saturatedhydraulic conductivities and as data on water saturations as a function ofpressure head. The results will be compared to more direct measurements ofsaturated hydraulic conductivity to determine the usefulness of the mercury-intrusion data.
4-2
SNL staff have begun measurement of fracture permeability on a sample of weldedtuff. Both loading and unloading curves have been determined. Additionalsamples, each containing a single natural fracture, are being prepared fortesting.
Equipment and Instrumentation Development (November Activities)
Current efforts on the Equipment Engineering task include generation of newdesigns for horizontal emplacement which reflect the proposed shorter emplace-ment borehole, investigation of backup retrieval methods, and a cost estimatefor the dolly currently to be used for waste emplacement and retrieval.
Sealing
Data from alteration, under both hydrothermal and dry heating conditions, ofgrout formulation 82-22 are currently undergoing analysis and evaluation atLos Alamos.
November Report. The modified-permeability-zone model for the area around theexploratory shaft has been further revised to take into account the expectedrock properties and in situ stresses, as well as the bounding conditionspreviously considered.
Work on the development of the design requirements at SNL included a proposedapproach for estimating the amount of water that can enter the repositorythrough the shafts and ramps. This approach would develop design requirementsseparately for expected and bounding conditions.
SNL personnel recomputed the fractional release rate and radionuclide releasesat approximately 1,000 years after closure. These are supplemental analyses tosupport the performance-assessment study of the effect of a modified-permeability zone around the exploratory shaft.
PNL laboratory data on the hydraulic properties of grout and concrete werereduced. Two types of grouts and one of concrete were analyzed. The data forthe moisture content versus negative pressure head were plotted and then fit tocurves using the van Genuchten curve-fitting method. Plots of hydraulicconductivity versus negative pressure head were also prepared.
The procedures to be used in determining the consolidation and saturatedhydraulic conductivity of crushed tuff are being prepared at SNL. The level ofeffort is consistent with the quality-assurance (QA) level established for thistesting.
Pennsylvania State University (PSU) researchers prepared a response on thesuitability of gypsum as a sealing material in the Yucca Mountain repository.The response will be forwarded to personnel at U.S. Gypsum Corp. for theirreview. Additional discussions will be required to evaluate the capabilitiesof gypsum cements.
A review of finite-element stress analyses of the exploratory shaft (ES) exca-vation through tuff units PTn, TSwl, and TSw2 at Yucca Mountain included acomparison of Re/SPEC's analyses to ITC's empirical approach, which was used todevelop a modified-permeability-zone model.
4-3
Facilities (November Activities)
A SNL report entitled Forced Cooling to Establish a Safe Environment forInspection and Maintenance of Waste Emplacement Drifts" is in peer review.
Operations and Maintenance (November Activities)
All the-cost data for the fuel-rod-consolidation study are now available. Theresults indicate that fuel consolidation at the Yucca Mountain repository isnot cost-effective. The analysis also shows that, because of differences inthe design of the single-stage Waste-Handling Building, the startup date wouldbe delayed 21 months with consolidation versus no consolidation.
A progress report on the NNWSI Project study was presented at an OCRWM fuel-consolidation workshop held in Washington, DC, on November 18, 1985.
Repository Performance Assessment (November Activities)
Coding was completed at SNL for the new version of the Thomas Compliant JointMaterial Model in the code JAC. Two new capabilities were incorporated intothe code: an orthogonal joint set and hardening behavior in the joint-shearportion of the model.
Work continued at SNL on the design-analysis sections of the RCD/SC and thewaste-isolation subsection on opening stability. Reference stability calcula-tions for vertical and horizontal emplacement drifts are being included in thedraft RCD/SC. Preliminary sensitivity was calculated to determine whatparameters have the greatest influence on opening stability.
Finite-element COVE 3 thermal calculations are now in good agreement with theARRAYF results. As part of this comparison, changes were made in the ARRAYFinput data to extend its validity from 500 to 1,000 years. This will allowmore accurate predictions of how long the waste will stay above 100 C. ARRAYFis particularly 'useful for calculations at locations such a the edge of theunderground facility.
PLANNED WORK (November Report)
Work will begin at SNL in the second quarter of FY 86 on a detailed plan forrepository decommissioning to meet the FY 87 milestone due date.
The SDR (Milestone N433) will undergo extensive review during the month ofDecember 1985. The review is scheduled to be completed by the Christmasholiday.
The report entitled Final Report--G-Tunnel Heated-Block Experiment' (SAND84-2620) will be sent to WMPO to complete Milestone M433. Peer review of thereport entitled "Final Report--G-Tunnel Small-Diameter Heater Experiments"(SAND84-2621) (Milestone N444) will be completed during December 1985.
Statistical analysis of laboratory-determined bulk, thermal, and mechanicalproperties of thermal/mechanical units TSW1, TSW2, and TSW3, the major units inthe Topopah Spring Member, will be completed at SNL.
4-4
Planned work for Seal Performance Requirements at SNL includes completion ofthe modified-permeability-zone study, revision of the RCD/SC, revision of thedesign-requirements report, completion of hydrologic calculations to establishperformance criteria and design requirements, and revision of the performance-assessment study concerning suitability in constructing the exploratory shaft,(ES).
Trade-off studies on suitable sealing-component designs will be initiated.
Coding for the new version of the Thomas Compliant Joint Material Model in thecode JAC will be verified by SNL in December.
Sections related to design analysis of the Subsystems Design Requirements (SDR)document will be peer reviewed.
PROBLEM AREAS (November Report)
The start of the Advanced Conceptual Design (ACD) (Milestone N430), scheduledfor September 30, 1985, has been delayed. Factors contributing to the delayinclude the assignment of staff to the MRS/Repository studies, the extendedenvironmental assessment (EA) effort, the work on Chapter 6 of the SCP, and theRCD/SC reports, as well as contractual delays. Recent communications withDOE/HQ concerning definitive answers to several programmatic issues suggestthat a summer (July 1986) start may be likely. Because of the delay, acomplete replanning activity is in process. Continued dialogue with the WMPOand DOE/HQ is expected until a new schedule can be jointly agreed upon.
The delay of the start of the ACD until late FY 86 will affect the completiondates of milestones under this WBS task (Milestones N428, P408, and P409)unless the scope of the ACD is drastically reduced or the scheduled completiondate of the ACD is delayed.
The decision to integrate the exploratory-shaft element into the RepositoryDesign Plan requires that data developed by Los Alamos be incorporated into theplan. A schedule for this activity is yet to be determined.
The reestablishment of NNWSI Project priorities will continue to impact Mile-stone P404, the report on design requirements and materials recommendation.The preparation of a more comprehensive modified-permeability-zone study andperformance-assessment study will delay the completion of this milestone.
Milestone N463 may be delayed because of commitments to the Systems EngineeringManagement Plan (SEMP), the SCP, the RCD/SC, the Repository Design Plan, andthe Seismic Position Paper, in addition to systems-integration responsibili-ties.
MILESTONE PROGRESS (November Report)
SNL has requested the CCB to change the due date for Milestone N430, the startof advanced repository conceptual design, from January 1, 1986, to May 1, 1986.
4-5
The report "Disposal of Radioactive Waste Packages in Horizontal Boreholes-ADescription of the System, Equipment, and Procedures for Emplacement andRetrievalu (SAND84-2640) (Milestone N450) has completed peer review.

1.2.5 REGULATORY AND INSTITUTIONAL INVESTIGATIONS
OBJECTIVE
The objective of the Regulatory/Institutional task is to provide the capabilityfor interfacing with all the institutions and to meet the requirements identi-fied in various laws and regulations pertaining to the siting, design, andconstruction of a nuclear waste repository and a test and evaluation facility.The principal laws and regulations which govern the licensing of these includethe Atomic Energy Act of 1954, the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of1969, and the Nuclear Waste Policy Act (NWPA) of 1982, 10 CFR Part 60, and 40CFR part 191.
ACTIVITIES
Licensing
Regulatory Interactions
On December 3 and 4 NNWSI Project personnel met in Washington with DOE and NRCstaff members to discuss Seismic/Tectonic Investigations. The annotatedoutline for the paper "Rationale for Seismic/Tectonic Investigations forLicensing a Nuclear Waste Repository" was developed; in addition a proposedmethodology for identification of anticipated and unanticipated events wasdiscussed. NRC voiced general agreement with the annotated outline providingcertain minor modifications were made.
As a result of the DOE/NRC meeting on seismic/tectonics, efforts were initiatedto further analyze the probabilistic approach to identifying and evaluatinganticipated and unanticipated events and releases to assure compliance with40 CFR 191 and 10 CFR 60. A detailed discussion of EPA's guidance in this areais being prepared by T&MSS.
Participants at a NNWSI Project meeting on Performance Confirmation at LLNL onDecember 17 and 18 evaluated technical requirements and coordination needs fordeveloping a performance confirmation program as required by 10 CFR 60.
A draft "Standard Format and Content for License Applications" prepared by DOE/HQ was received by T&MSS for review and comment and distributed to otherProject participants.
Draft sections for the licensing oriented sections of the Systems EngineeringManagement Plan (SEMP) will be forwarded to SNL.
5-1
A T&MSS staff member attended a series of meetings in Washington on theLicensing Information System (LIS), December 10, and on Information Managementand ADP Resources, December 11 and 12. The purpose of the LIS meeting was todiscuss a series of HQ LIS Decision Memoranda. Input relative to thesememoranda was provided by each of the Project Offices and revised versions areforthcoming. The purpose of the meetings on Information Management and ADP,Resources was to discuss existing and planned Project Office and HeadquartersInformation systems relative to the need for and possibility of coordinationand integration of these systems. Further discussion of these topics isplanned for the near future.
Project representatives attended a site-specifc BWIP and NRC meeting held inRichland on December 3 and 4 on Exploratory Shaft Design and construction.
November Activities. SNL submitted drafts of the following documents to theData Records Management System (DRMS):
Documentation of the DRMS Computer Index program, which described theprocedures and routines for all DRMS programs;
The DRMS User's Manual, which details all menus and options encountered bysystem users; and
The DRMS operating procedures, which provide a generalized description ofhow records are obtained, handled, and filed.
As of December 2, 1985, the DRMS includes 196 data sets, containing 2,529documents, totaling 20,309 pages.
Site Characterization Plan
SCP activities included developing schedules for SCP preparation that wouldaddress several different options and completion dates as suggested by DOE/HQto accommodate the increased scope of the document. The increased scoperesults mostly from DOE/HQ agreements with the NRC on level of detail andperformance allocation that must appear in Section 8.3 (Planned Tests,Analyses, and Studies). A "realistic but optimistic schedule resulted in acompletion date of June 1987. The second schedule would meet a forced comple-tion date of October 1986. The schedules presented by the NNWSI, BWIP, andSRPO projects were quite similar, and the SCP Coordinating Group preliminarilyaccepted the "realistic but optimistic" schedule of the NNWSI Project with adelivery date of June 1987.
DOE/HQ asked for new schedule presentations for an upcoming workshop, this oneto be held in Denver on January 8, 1986. The presentation this time is toaddress five DOE/HQ-suggested options: proceeding to complete the SCP at thecurrent scope and level of detail; completing part A (data and design chapters)before part B (Chapter 8); descoping the document; preparing a "phased" SCP;and releasing the SCPs through the Project Operations Offices. Viewgraphs havebeen completed for the January 8 meeting.
Draft detailed guidance for the preparation of Section 8.3 is being prepared.This guidance incorporates agreements on level of detail and performanceallocation and addresses NRC concerns from their review of examples provided at
5-2
the October 29, 1985, DOE/NRC meeting on details of test descriptions.Finalization of this guidance will have to wait until the schedules for SCPpreparation have been decided, since the schedule is driven by the level ofdetail presented in Section 8.3
Work continued through December at USGS on the revision of Chapters 1 (Geology)and 3 (Hydrology) of the SCP. SCP Chapter 5.2, Paleoclimatology, was revised.Text description was expanded, figures and tables prepared, and referencesgathered. A completed revision of the section will be submitted to WMPO inearly January for SCP IRC review.
USGS planning sessions were conducted with SAIC/Golden to formulate site char-acterization plans for each of the SCP Issues Hierarchy information needs. Thehydrology program completed a three-week workshop to define detailed outlinesof their plans. The geology program continued to update previously developedoutline plans and to define the site geology plans. Paleoclimatology planswere developed and integrated with the hydrology plans. The focus of the SCPChapter 8 effort was on the definition of broad investigations for each infor-mation need and specific work activities subordinate to each investigation.Objectives and parameters on investigations and objectives and investigators ofwork activities were identified. More detailed descriptions will be developedfrom the outlines. These will include work scopes, locations of investiga-tions, milestones and deliverables.
The SCP schedule remains a major concern and the expected level-of-detail anuncertainty. The ESTP-to-SCP conversion will be performed in January as ameans of early completion of this requirement.
Resolution was completed of reference conflicts for the EA. Hard copies ofreference material used in the EA were provided to SAIC.
Revisions were completed by Los Alamos for Chapter 4, Geochemistry, of the SiteCharacterization Plan (SCP). Work on the Chapter 4 reference list iscontinuing.
November Activities. A plan was developed for allocating performance goals tosubsystems and components of the postclosure natural and engineered barriers.These goals will be used to guide the site-characterization testing program.The plan will be presented at the TPO meeting on December 5, 1985. Work is inprogress on defining the licensing approach for TPO consideration and approvalat the January 1986 TPO meeting. Parameters and required accuracy of the para-meters will be established based on the licensing approach. Tests to acquiredata for these parameters can then be prioritized. A similar method for rank-ordering of design data needs is n progress. An approach for determining dataneeds for the five issues on Higher Level Findings remains to be defined andprioritized.
Environmental Compliance
Environmental Assessment
All of the T&MSS staff concentrated on revising the EA and preparing responsesto DOE/HQ comments for the review held on December 9-12. A camera-ready copy
5-3
is due to DOE/HQ on January 26, 1986. The final EA is scheduled to be releasedto the public on February 20, 1986, but the schedule is expected to change.
November Activities. Several EA references being prepared by SNL are onschedule and will be completed prior to the EA publication. The documents are
(1) "Rock Mass Classification of Potential Repository Units at Yucca Mountain,Nye County, Nevada" (SAND82-2034);
(2) "Technical Correspondence in Support of the Final Environmental AssessmentDocument* (SAND85-2509);
(3) "Two-Stage Repository Development at Yucca Mountain: An EngineeringFeasibility Study" (SAND84-1351, Rev. 1).
Environmental Impact Statement
Staff members attended the Environmental Coordinating Group (ECG) meeting onDecember 12 n Washington and began planning EIS efforts.
Environmental Regulatory Interaction
The draft Environmental Permit Plan, identifying permits for site characteriza-tion activities and explaining procedures necessary for WMPO to follow toobtain each permit, was completed and sent to WMPO for review. A reviewsession is planned with WMPO, REECo, and H&N to revise the plan and include allconstruction permits and agreements that might be required. Staff will attendthe Environmental Monitoring and Mitigation task force meeting on January 9 and10, 1986, at Argonne National Lab to begin planning the EMMP.
Communication and Liaison
T&MSS staff reviewed and commented on the DOE draft Consultation and Coopera-tion negotiation guidelines; a review of DOE/HQ procedures for distribution ofmaterials to States; and a revision of the distribution list for the final EAs.
A meeting with Nevada Legislative staff member Don Bayer on December 9 focusedon State and local government participation in monitoring and mitigation plansduring site characterization and results from the DOE/HQ fall Informationmeeting and transportation workshop held in Atlanta in November 1985.
PLANNED WORK
Present plans are for a WMPO submittal of the USGS SCP site characterizationinvestigation outlines by mid-February. Review and comment by WMPO will berequired before detailed test descriptions are prepared. Topical planningmeetings and investigator interviews will be conducted during January todevelop a more detailed definition of the SCP investigations and workactivities.
5-4
November Report
Input of records into the DRMS will continue. The computer files containing alisting of all tested samples will be verified.
SNL comments to SAIC on the latest review are due the first week of December1985. The EA Steering Committee will convene at DOE/HQ to finalize the EAprocess and the schedule.

1.2.6 EXPLORATORY SHAFT INVESTIGATIONS
OBJECTIVE
The objective of this task is to identify and plan the tests that need to beconducted at the repository horizon as a part of detailed site characterizationand to design and construct the Exploratory Shaft (ES) and the underground testarea in Yucca Mountain. The primary focus of this effort will be to establishthe basis for evaluating the unsaturated zone in a welded tuff formation. Inaddition, an effort will be made to define the nature of the unsaturated zonewith regard to water content and water movement, and the nature of the naturalbarriers between the repository horizon and the static water level.
ACTIVITIES
Management and Integration
Los Alamos began neutron hole drilling in Coyote Wash. Data on the depth tobedrock at the ES-1 location were obtained for gsign of the ES-1 collar.Samples were also obtained at 5-feet intervals for Cl analysis.
REECo completed a study estimating the types of fluids and expected quantitiesthat will be used during construction and operation of the exploratory shaftfacility (ESF). Fenix & Scisson obtained the services of a subcontractor toperform design verification for-the underground and mine plant design of theESF.
Quality level determinations that were transmitted to WMPO for approval werereturned to Los Alamos for revision.
Considerable time and effort were directed at assessing the effect of theanticipated delays in the SCP preparation on the ESF schedule and budgets.
Testing
Exploratory Shaft Test Plan
The proposal for short horizontal air coring in G-tunnel was completed byLos Alamos personnel and sent to WMPO.
Los Alamos sent review comments on draft rationales for long drifts for lateralexploration and on dry mining of hydrology test areas to USGS.
Editing was completed at Los Alamos of Part I and much of Part II of the ESTPRevision 1; changes were being made by the word processors and illustrators.
Los Alamos staff members reviewed topical report titled "Fran Ridge HorizontalCoring Summary Report, Hole UE-25h#1, Yucca Mountain Area, Nye County, Nevada"for technical content.
6-1
New Level II milestones are being developed for prototype testing, engineeringtest plans, and quality assurance test procedures.
The strike rail goniometer was successfully field tested by USGS and trialstereophotos of the G-Tunnel experimental drift were taken as an analogue forexploratory shaft drift mapping. This initial data set will be used to deter-mine if it is feasible to use computerized stereometry to construct a geologicmap of the drift walls.
USGS personnel prepared QA level documents for exploratory shaft commitmentsand completed preparations for construction of three test pits for prototypetesting of shaft wall mapping.
LLNL coordinated and hosted a meeting of potential users of the ES IntegratedData System to discuss needs and the status of IDS planning.
Exploratory Shaft Testing
The QA level assignment for the Exploratory Shaft Diffusion Test was preparedat Los Alamos, approved, and transmitted to WMPO to meet the due date ofDecember 6.
Eight samples provided by USGS from corehole USW-UZN43ES1 will be analyzed forchloride content to help interpret infiltration at the Exploratory Shaft site.
Assembly of the high frequency electromagnetic (HFEM) geotomography sand pitexperiment continued at LLNL. Heavy rainfall slowed the work and made itnecessary to muck out the pit in order to continue. The experiment should beready to begin in early January if no additional weather delays areexperienced.
Arrangements for an HFEM geotomography experiment in G-tunnel continued withpreparation of a heater and controller, planning for the borehole layout, andrequests made for drilling support. Drilling is scheduled to be completed byMarch 1, 1986.
ES testing activities are being defined in preparation for making a formalassignment of quality assurance levels. Overall tests and their results aretentatively considered to be level I, but certain activities that support thetests may warrant different QA levels.
Integrated Data System
Discussions of the needs and justifications for additional Integrated DataSystems (IDS) services resulted in a list of candidate additional IDS servicesthat require further definition and investigation as well as some questionsthat need to be resolved. Discussion at a future meeting of the ES Test PlanCommittee and further meetings on the subject are planned. The results ofthese meetings should be either a plan for continuing with the proposal or adecision that the additional services are not justified.
Proposed adjustments in the ES facility layout and in the ES schedule requiredsignificant replanning of the required IDS support. Because of the magnitudeof the projected schedule adjustment, it will be necessary to redesign substan-tial portions of the IDS to prevent installing obsolete equipment. It may be
6-2
appropriate to replan the IDS and reduce IDS effort for this fiscal year to theminimum necessary to continue support. In anticipation of this adjustment,Los Alamos is reducing the IDS staff.
PLANNED WORK
The proposed relocation of the main testing level from the 1,200-foot to the1,020-foot level will necessitate more formal interface management between theESF and repository design efforts. Formal procedures to accomplish this mustbe developed, reviewed, and implemented.
Los Alamos personnel will take advantage of the expected delay in the start ofshaft construction to reassess several features of the ESF design and perhapsbetter tailor the design to accommodate anticipated changes in testingrequirements.
Editing of the ESTP Revision 1 will be completed and copies will be preparedfor distribution to WMPO by January 17, 1986. Los Alamos will complete plansfor upcoming ESTP technical reviews from within and outside the NNWSI Project.ESTP budgets and schedules will be reviewed and adjusted as reasonable toreflect a delayed shaft start date. Quality level assignments will be com-pleted for ESF testing items and activities. Design criteria will be finalizedfor construction support of ESF tests.
Los Alamos plans additional work involving chloride and 36Cl analyses to helptrace water movements in the unsaturated zone at Yucca Mountain. The servicesof a qualified contractor will be required for those parts of the task thatcannot be performed at Los Alamos.
November Report. Modeling of the ES slot-strength testing by SNL will beextended to include deformation analyses in the region around the flatjacks.These calculations will enhance understanding of the jointed-rock continuummodel at the very-near-field scale.
PROBLEM AREAS
The expected delay until early 1988 in the start of shaft construction willrequire additional effort to redefine budgets, schedules, and associated workpacket definitions. The delay will require reevaluation, to begin during thefirst week of January, of ESF milestones; further revision will occur asguidance is developed.
The need for additional staff to support Exploratory Shaft testing at LLNLcontinued to be urgent. Several candidates have been interviewed, but nooffers of employment have been made.

1.2.7 TEST FACILITIES
OBJECTIVE
The major objective of this task is the design, construction, and operation ofthe test facilities that support technology development for other waste manage-ment programs and other geologic repository projects. The two major facilitiesoperated under this WBS element are the Climax Spent Fuel Test Facility and theE-MAD Facility.
ACTIVITIES
Climax
LLNL staff completed technical review of the informal report on the SFT-C mine-by blasting effects on instrumentation and the report was sent to WMPO forprogrammatic review.
E-MAD
All E-MAD fuel assemblies are now stored in the Hot Bay Lag Storage Pit. withexhaust fans off, the highest Lag Storage Pit exhaust temperature was 27.4 C.All canisterized fuel assemblies located in the Lag Storage Pit are in a safeconfiguration. The maximum recorded canister temperatures are well below thecanister design limits.
The EG&G/Idaho drawing for the TN-8L shipping cask lid lift fixture wasreceived, and fabrication of a fixture was initiated.
In accordance with verbal direction from DOE/NV, deactivation and decommission-ing continued of equipment that will not be used to ship the 17 fuel assembliesto Idaho.
Preparation of data packages on all 17 fuel assemblies continued. Thermal datais being prepared for records closeout and for inclusion in the individual fuelassembly data packages.
Westinghouse personnel prepared a brochure which describes the E-MAD facilityand its capabilities; the deactivation, now in progress and scheduled forcompletion in September 1986; and the caretaker program required for reactiva-tion of the facility to full operational capability within a 6-to-12-monthperiod.
PLANNED WORK (NOVEMBER REPORT)
SNL will continue mining and the installation of convergence stations.

ACTIVITI ES
Management and Integration
Management
The slide library received original and duplicate slides from the August 1985aerial photo session at Yucca Mountain. The slides will be filed in thelibrary console and a description of each slide will be filed in the 3 x card file. The computerized slide library file system is scheduled for rein-stallation in April 1986; as soon as the reinstallation is complete, the entireslide library will be computerized.
T&MSS staff developed the Quality Assurance Document application that is beingused to log in QA procedures and QA-related documents.
Staff designed and implemented an Institutional News Clipping Tracking system.The data base contains information from news articles dealing with The Depart-ment of Energy.
Review of the FY 86 budgets resulted in revised cost account plans and fundingadjustments for the LLNL NNWSI projects. A decrease of $230K in theExploratory Shaft task was determined due to the slip in the ES schedule;decreases in Waste Package and Project Control were also determined.Additional funding was requested to expand the EQ3/6 data base at LLNL. Itmay be possible to fund this effort through internal reprogramming of funds inareas with current manpower shortages; an analysis of this situation is cur-rently taking place.
November Activities. Although the Records Center Master Index is nearingcompletion, minor modifications will continue to be made at SNL to reflectcategories and detail within those categories requested by users of the system.The recommended hardware for the NNWSI RMS is being ordered, and the installa-tion of the software and training will be scheduled to take place in earlyJanuary.
9-1
Records Management
The SAIC/Golden records center received the first box of reports and back-updata from USGS/Menlo Park. Minor problems with the records collecting processare being worked out. There are some problems in finding the order documents,at Menlo Park, and with Principal Investigators' file organization, but theseare problems encountered also in the Nuclear Hdyrology Program and the GeologicDivision, and need to be worked out at all locations.
The first NHP documents were collected and indexed. The NHP records specialistis collecting published report packages and doing some of the preliminaryindexing on these and on the published reports.
Project Control
Progress and status data for the performance measurement data system (PMDS) asprovided by the NNWSI Project- participants for the month of November have beenincorporated into the NNWSI Project network schedules.
In lieu of a network presentation for December, the PM-TPOs were provided witha booklet of 2-year time slice networks updated through November 30, 1985.
Representatives from WMPO, SAIC, and the OGR met on December 9 and 10 to assistthe OGR in developing a first repository network schedule. T&MSS Staff members-provided logic interfaces, time durations, and activity sequences to be used inthis schedule.
Work has been initiated to develop schedule networks in WBS areas 2.7 - Testingand 2.8 - Land Acquisition and to expand the 2.9.3 - QA networks to include allparticipants. These are targeted to be completed during the month of January1986.
T&MSS personnel completed detailed PMDS format design for a variance analysisdata report and a data report for an analysis of cost performance at completion(FY). Draft PMDS Administrative Procedures 3-1, 3-2, and 3-3 were completedand distributed for comments. Cost Performance Reports were prepared for allNNWSI Project participants from the current MS data base for November 1985.
Members of the T&MSS Cost and Schedule Control Branch developed for the DOEResearch Management Budget Department the PMDS output format specifications forthe plan versus actual cost variance report which will be used for all partici-pants in the budget data entry system.
Several SCP planning sessions were conducted with the USGS hydrology personneland SAIC/Golden Project management staff and included the following task andsubtasks; streamflow, groundwater flow analysis, saturated zone hydrology,unsaturated zone hydrology and future hydrologic conditions.
Development of the USGS Project Plan was redirected in order to complete therough draft in January. A good portion of the rough draft for the Introductionwas completed. An annotated outline of the Organization was developed todirect the writing of this chapter. Modifications and clean up were initiatedon the work plans for the final chapter.

Quality Assurance
As a result of the start of formal data collection, a T&MSS surveillance wasconducted of meteorological monitoring activities at NTS on December 11.Corrective action to satisfy the findings of NNWSI Audit 85-15 had been takenand was found to be satisfactory. Monitoring of MMP activities continues.
Monitoring of activities associated with the SCP, Environmental Assessment, andEnvironmental Permit Management plans and the Regulatory Compliance Plancontinues.
Due to projected changes in QAPP supporting procedures, the T&MSS Audit Programis being developed as an Audit and Monitoring/Surveillance Plan to be issued inJanuary 1986. This plan will cover internal and external audits as well asmonitoring and surveillance activities of MMP, SCPMP, EAMP, and other T&MSSplans and activities as they are implemented. Internal audit activities willbe increased in FY 86.
There were no FY 86 audits scheduled during the month of December. Of the 15audits conducted in FY 85, 11 remain open.
A total of five surveillances were conducted during the month of December. Thesurveillances were concentrated in three areas: the neutron access holedrilling in Nevada Test Site Area 25, the welded tuff mining evaluations atG-Tunnel, and USGS Document Control at T&MSS. A total of 30 items and activi-ties were monitored, and 2 nonconformances and 2 observations were reported.The nonconformances and observations have been discussed with the individualsresponsible within each organization.
Review and resolution of comments on NNWSI-SOP-17-01 continued. A final draftis in preparation and will be submitted to the Quality Assurance RecordsManagement Committee (QRMC) in February 1986. Upon agreement of the ORMC onthe comment resolution, a final draft will be prepared and submitted to WMPOfor formal review and approval (planned for March 1986).
H&N Engineering Records Library and T&MSS personnel met on December 20 todetermine possible expansion and equipment needs of the library to support theNNWSI Project QA records management system.
T&MSS staff members began preparation for a design interface procedure for theexploratory shaft facility.
Three revised SOPs (02-01, QAPP Requirements; 02-02, Assignment of QA Levels;and 15-01, Nonconformance Control) for the NNWSI Project Quality Assurance PlanNVO-196-17 have been signed by WMPO and QAD. The QAD has provided additionalcomments on the NNWSI QA Plan (NVO-196-17) and SOP-03-03, Acceptance of Datanot Developed under a QA Plan. Once these additional comments are resolvedwith QAD, the documents will be issued to the Project participants for imple-mentation and to OGR for review. The expected date for issuance is 1/25/86with an effective date of 1/31/86.
Upon further discussion with WMPO, SOP-03-01 will undergo a major change toreflect controls for design interface at the NTS. The procedure will serve asinterim controls until issuance of the NNWSI SEMP.
5-3
The draft SOP-03-02, QA Software, was sent to WMPO and QAD for comment onDecember 19. The comments were requested to be returned by January 8, 19886,for resolution. The expected issuance date is set for the end of January.
At the request of WMPO, an SOP covering core sample control and storage will bedeveloped. The controls will cover sample collection, storage of the corelibrary, issuance to the participants, and final disposition. An annotatedoutline is expected to be complete by mid February. The annotated outline willthen be discussed at the March Sample Overview Committee meeting. The finaldraft is expected to be ready for WMPO review by the end of April.
A complete. review of all WMPO QMPs was started this month. Appropriate changeswill be made as required from the review, past audits, and changes in OGRguidance.
The QAPPs and many of the QA procedures of LLNL, USGS, WTSD, REECo, and SAIChave beerr reviewed and approved by WMPO. The approval by WMPO allows forimplementation on NNWSI Project activities. Further comments may be necessaryas OGR guidance changes and effectiveness is evaluated from audits andsurveillances.
The Los Alamos QAPP and several of their QA procedures have been reviewed andapproved by WMPO for implementation. Six additional QA procedures werereceived by WMPO for review. Comments are expected to be returned toLos Alamos by the beginning of February.
There has been no exchange of correspondence with SNL on their QAPP orprocedures this month. An SNL discussion will determine whether or not theywill develop a new QAPP specifically for NNWSI Project activities or continueto use the SNL organization 6000 QAPP.
The F&S QAPP and QA procurement procedures have been approved by WMPO forimplementation. The comments on the remaining F&S QA procedures submitted areclose to final resolution. Expected date for approval by WMPO is January 1986.
During the past 2 months WMPO and H&N have exchanged informal comments on theH&N QA documents. H&N will be submitting their QA document by the end ofJanuary for a formal review.
QA staff members attended an OGR meeting in Washington D.C. on December 19 topresent the NNWSI Project QA Level Assignment Method. Each Project presentedtheir approach on graded QA to OGR for evaluation and incorporation into theproposed OGR guidance.
Major presentations by DOE were made at a DOE/NRC QA meeting, consisting ofMQu List Methodology, Qualification of Personnel, Overview of QA Activities,Control of MT&E, QA Records, QA on R&D, Computer Software Control,Configuration Management, Graded QA and QA in the SCP. The NRC presentedupdates of their technical positions on Configuration Management, Peer ReviewQualification of Existing Data, QA for Research and Exploratory Activities and"Q" Lists. Due to the amount of information presented, the major focus was thepresentation of DOE and NRC positions. Time constraints did not allow fordetailed discussion, resolution of conflicting views, or major conclusions.
9-4
USGS forwarded final drafts of technical procedures GP-15, "Inventory of DrillHole Core," GP-16, Procedure for the Handling and Storage of Drill Core," andGP-17, "Describing and Sampling Soils in the Field," for signatures.
USGS staff continued with installation of the REVELATION database software onthe QA IBM equipment for establishing a common system for QA program documentcontrol.. The documentation provided with the software has presented problemsbut progress is being made. This software installation may impede the supportprogress to the QA office and, therefore, its priority is being upgraded.
A draft of the proposed procedure QMP 7.01, "Selection of Suppliers andReceiving Inspection," was submitted for review.
Work has continued throughout the month at LLNL on revision and integration ofthe sections in the QAPP. The results of internal audits and implementation ofthe plan has led to a clearer understanding of the organization of the QAPP andthe need for a systems approach to the functions of quality assurance. Thetotal number of activities identified at LLNL has been increased to 127; aLevel of Quality Assurance has been assigned to 50 activities.
Two Procedures that make up the Training and Qualification section of the QAPPwere issued by LLNL.
Sixteen LLNL Quality Level Assignment Approval Packages were submitted onDecember 20 for WMPO review and approval. Nine of the packages were revisionsof earlier submittals as a result of procurement discussions at the PQACmeeting in November.
Corrective Action Report CAR-0178 was formally issued to close NonconformanceReport, NCR-0010, which deals with equipment purchased from Weathertronics.
A Nonconformance Report, NCR-0401, was issued by the Los Alamos Geology/Geochemistry Group when it was discovered that a sample records procedure wasweak or in error.
Los Alamos staff members completed quality level assignment determinations forthe Exploratory Shaft and forwarded them to WMPO for review and approval.
PLANNED WORK
A discussion of the QA Software SOP is on the agenda for the January 14 and15, 1986, PQAC meeting. Presentations will be given of the SOP development andhow the participants intend to implement it. Representatives from the DOE,OGR, and RH & CH field offices are invited to attend.
Five reports (numbers 86-07 through 86-011) documenting surveillances are invarious stages of processing and are expected to be transmitted to the partici-pants in mid-January 1986.
Revision to the T&MSS QAPP is scheduled for completion in February 1986. Therevision will include the changes necessary to affect the corrective actionsmade as a result of the T&MSS response to NNWSI Audit 85-15.

Dear Dr. Vieth:
At the June Technical Project Officer Meeting in LasVegas a presentation was made by Joe Downey, USGS, and DaveVaniman, LANL, on a proposed program to investigate possible"hydrothermal" deposits on Yucca Mountain. Subsequent to thatmeeting, my staff has reviewed the handout materials with ourcontractors, Desert Research Institute and Bureau of Mines andGeology. We offer the following comments and observations on theproposed program.
From the presentation and the handout materials it isdifficult to ascertain what is the true objective of the proposedstudy. In our view the objective ought to be to: 1) determine theorigin of the suggested high-temperature fraction in thesedeposits, and 2) if high-temperature in origin, determine whetherthese deposits are the result of up-welling of thermal fluidsalong pre-existing faults or are the result of recent faultmovement. The ultimate question is whether these deposits are anindicator of a potential volcanic hazard or an active faulthazard or both, and if those indicators impact site suitability.
We think the number one criticism of the proposed program isthat it does not focus on answering the critical questionsrelated to solving the problem of the origin of the high tempera-ture fraction and the possible impact on site suitability.Instead, the proposed studies tend to concentrate on the originof the low-temperature carbonate fraction. While we agree theorigin of the carbonate deposits needs resolution, especially if

the deposits are the result of spring activity, the impact onsite suitability does not appear nearly as critical as thehigh-temperature fraction (assuming, of course, the high temper-ature fraction has a true thermal origin). Therefore, we wouldrecommend the studies be refocused to concentrate on the criticalissue of high-temperature origin.
Separately we have some specific comments relative to theprogram which has been proposed by USGS/LANL.. It appears thatthe overall approach is adequate but the scope and level ofeffort may not be sufficient. The State would probably assigndifferent weights to the relative importance of some of theactivities proposed in the comprehensive study. Further, theremay be closely related issues which are not addressed by theproposed study, but should be.
First, regardless of past geologic mapping efforts, we arenot convinced that a detailed surficial geology map has beenachieved for Yucca Mountain and vicinity. There is littleassurance that a complete location and sampling of suspect"hydrothermal spring" deposits has been accomplished to date. Itis noted that the USGS budget devotes $31,000 to "reduction ofgeologic information to maps" and field checks. This activitysuggests that, at best, a detailed surficial map is complete butunpublished, or at worst, only a reconnaissance level map hasbeen accomplished. Further the geochemical evidence for hydroth-ermal activity is not definitive nor convincing without acomplete understanding of the geologic setting and history ofYucca Mountain. A thorough investigation of former seeps and lowtemperature deposits may provide clues to future transportpathways to the accessible environment.
Second, the LANL geochemical/mineralogy effort should begreatly expanded, if for no other reason but to accomodate a morerepresentative suite of samples. The LANL work effort shouldalso consider carefully integrating the results of geochem-ical/pineralogic analysis with results from a comprehensivepollen, phytolithic, and biological analysis. This integrationmay help to sort out the environmental and age relationships ofthese deposits. We believe that a comprehensive study of thesedeposits will provide important data necessary for resolvingother issues, such as 1) where and when does recharge occur undermodern climatic conditions at and near Yucca Mountain, 2) wheredoes the infiltrated water discharge if it does not percolateinto the tuffs, and 3) is there any evidence of past springs orseeps which may have occurred under full pluvial climaticconditions. The proposed USGS/LANL program would provide littleinformation relative to these issues.
Dr. Maurice Morgenstein, DRI/Las Vegas, has had telephonecommunication with Joe Downey and Dave Vaniman about thissubject. He reiterated to the researchers our concerns and

observations as described above. He also suggested some analyti-cal techniques which might enhance the accuracy of the results.The State feels these proposed studies are critical to thesuitability of the site and intends to monitor the progress ofthis investigation quite closely.
We would be pleased to discuss our comments and observationson this subject with you or your staff at any time.
