Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) Conceptual Design Report. Part I


Book Description

The pilot plant is developed for ERDA low-level contact-handled transuranic waste, ERDA remote-handled intermediate-level transuranic waste, and for high-level waste experiments. All wastes placed in the WIPP arrive at the site processed and packaged; no waste processing is done at the WIPP. All wastes placed into the WIPP are retrievable. The proposed site for WIPP lies 26 miles east of Carlsbad, New Mexico. This document includes the executive summary and a detailed description of the facilities and systems. (DLC).













WIPP Conceptual Design Report. Addendum L. Mine Safety Code Review for Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) Conceptual Design Report


Book Description

The Federal Mine Safety Code, Part 57 of the Federal Metal and Nonmetallic Mine Safety Act, was studied as to its effects upon the design and operation of that portion of the waste Isolation Pilot Plant pertaining to mining. These standards are discussed on a point by point basis.







WIPP Conceptual Design Report. Addendum H. Special Equipment Development Program for Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP).


Book Description

This addendum outlines the planned development program for equipment, identified and conceptually shown in the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) Conceptual Design Report (CDR), that is required for storage emplacement and retrieval of all wastes accepted at the WIPP.
