Thermohydeologic Behavior at the Potential Yucca Mountain Nuclear Waste Repository

Thermohydeologic Behavior at the Potential Yucca Mountain Nuclear Waste Repository [electronic resource]

Radioactive decay of high-level nuclear waste emplaced in a Yucca Mountain repository will produce an initial heat flux on the order of 30 to 50 times the heat flux in the Geysers geothermal reservoir in California (Hardin et al., 1998). Even though the rate of heat production decreases rapidly with...
