WIPP Conceptual Design Report. Addentum I. Soils and Foundation Investigation for Proposed Waste Isolation Pilot Plant, Eddy County, New Mexico


Book Description

This report presents the results of a soils and foundation investigation for the proposed Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) located in Section 21, Township 22 South, Range 31 East, N.M.P.M., Eddy County, New Mexico. The purpose of this investigation was to determine the physical characteristics of the subsoils in order to provide foundation design recommendations. The investigation was performed and the report prepared in accordance with the requirements received from John West Engineering Company and Mr. Bill Wowak, Sandia Laboratories. These were: (1) statement of work for WIPP soils investigation program, and (2) WIPP soil investigation revised drill hole location.

WIPP Conceptual Design Report. Addendum D.A Report to Holmes and Narver, Inc., Anaheim, California on Alternative Energy Sources for Waste Isolation Pilot Plant, Carlsbad, New Mexico


Book Description

This report presents the results of a technical and economic analysis of alternative methods of meeting the energy needs of a proposed Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) to be located in southeastern New Mexico. The WIPP is a facility for underground storage of radioactive wastes in a deep salt bed. The report analyzes a total of sixteen possible methods for meeting WIPP energy requirements, consisting of purchased electricity and on-site generation in various combinations from full purchased to full on-site.




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.




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.
