Science and Engineering Activities
This section explains the different areas Project scientists and
engineers are studying:
Natural System
- the study of rock (geology), water (hydrology), and climate
(climatology).
Engineered Barrier
System, or man-made parts of the repository - helps prevent the
release of highly radioactive materials from Yucca Mountain for hundreds
of thousands of years.
Repository
Design - creates the blueprints or drawings used to build the
different parts of the repository, and ensures that each operates
properly.
Repository
Operations - sets the operating requirements and limits that become
the basis for the designs of every part of the repository.
Radiological
Safety, or the Mined Geologic Disposal System Safety Assurance group
- helps set requirements to reduce the risk of accidents that might
release radiation.
Performance Assessment
Read how Project scientists estimate the
