The TSPA-VA Peer Review Panel (the Panel) was formed to provide the Civilian Radioactive Waste Management System Management and Operating Contractor (CRWMS M and O) with a formal, independent evaluation and critique of the Total System Performance Assessment-Viability Assessment (TSPA-VA) for the proposed high-level waste repository at Yucca Mountain. The objectives of the Panel were to describe the technical strengths and weaknesses of the TSPA-VA and to provide suggestions for its improvement, as the TSPA staff moves ahead to prepare documentation in support of a possible license application (LA). The Panel issued three interim reports prior to the completion of the TSPA-VA. These were based on draft documents supplemented by formal and informal meetings and interactions with the TSPA-VA staff. The comments in this final report were based on documented work, namely, the completed TSPA-VA (CRWMS M and O, 1998d) and its supporting Technical Basis Documents (CRWMS M and O, 1998c) and on other documents cited as references to this report.

The Management and Operating Contractor established a Performance Assessment Peer Review Panel (hereinafter ''the Panel'') at the request of the U.S. Department of Energy Yucca Mountain Site Characterization Office. The objectives of the peer review were to provide: (1) A formal, independent evaluation and critique of Viability Assessment of a Repository at Yucca Mountain: Total System Performance Assessment, Volume 3 (DOE 1998a; hereinafter ''Total System Performance Assessment-Viability Assessment'') that was conducted in support of the Viability Assessment of a Repository at Yucca Mountain (DOE 1998b). (2) Suggestions for improvements as the U.S. Department of Energy prepares to develop the documentation for a Total System Performance Assessment to support a potential License Application. The Panel conducted a phased review over a two-year period to observe the development and, ultimately, to review the Total System Performance Assessment-Viability Assessment (DOE 1998a). During the development of the Total System Performance Assessment-Viability Assessment (DOE 1998a), the Panel submitted three Interim Reports (Whipple et al., 1997a, 1997b, and 1998) to the Management and Operating Contractor with recommendations and comments on the process models, model abstractions, and draft documentation for the Total System Performance Assessment-Viability Assessment (DOE 1998a). The Panel's Final Report Total System Performance Assessment Peer Review Panel (Whipple et al. 1999; hereinafter ''Final Report'') on the Total System Performance Assessment-Viability Assessment (DOE 1998a) is based primarily on the completed Total System Performance Assessment-Viability Assessment (DOE 1998a), the Total System Performance Assessment-Viability Assessment (TSPA-VA) Analyses Technical Basis Document (CRWMS M and O 1998), and the cited references. The Final Report (Whipple et al. 1999) includes the major points from the three Interim Reports (Whipple et al. 1997a, 1997b, and 1998), updated where appropriate, as well as new findings that the Panel developed during its review of the Total System Performance Assessment-Viability Assessment (DOE 1998a). In the Final Report (Whipple et al. 1999), the Panel notes that the objective of the Total System Performance Assessment-Viability Assessment (DOE 1998a) was to describe the probable behavior of the potential repository. This report documents the comments provided in the Final Report (Whipple et al. 1999) and the Management and Operating Contractor responses to these comments. The responses were based on input from a number of scientists from the Management and Operating Contractor, several national laboratories, and the U.S. Geological Survey. The comments and responses are organized to be consistent with the major headings in the Final Report (Whipple et al. 1999). Excerpts from the Final Report (Whipple et al. 1999) are in italics; the Management and Operating Contractor responses to the comments are in straight text.

Predicting the performance of a repository at Yucca Mountain is a technically challenging task. As is noted in Section II, the analysis involves the modeling of complex hydrologic, thermal, chemical, and mechanical interactions over times spanning tens to hundreds of thousands of years. Many of the technical questions that are necessarily addressed in this analysis, for example, the distribution of the time for corrosion to breach the waste canisters, are at the forefront of the capabilities of present day science. With these complexities in mind, the TSPA Peer Review Panel has evaluated work that has been done and that is in progress. This first interim report reflects the Panel's initial review, subject to the following significant limitations: The Total System Performance Assessment (TSPA) supporting the Viability Assessment (VA) has not yet been written and, thus, the Panel is reviewing a work in progress. The Panel has available to it previous TSPA reports and various technical reports prepared in support of TSPA. The Panel also has been given briefings on the work being done for the TSPA-VA and has sent Panel members to abstraction meetings conducted by the TSPA-VA team to assign priorities to key technical issues and provide simplified versions of analyses suitable for an integrated analysis of the site as a whole. Members of the Panel have also attended other project workshops. The design of the repository is evolving. A number of aspects of the design have changed since the Panel's first meeting or are under review. Examples include the use of Alloy 625 instead of Alloy 825 as the inner corrosion resistant material of the waste canisters, the potential use of a gravel or sand backfill in the drifts, and consideration of alternative configurations for spent fuel containing highly enriched uranium. The Panel is still in an orientation phase. This is a large and technically diverse project with a long history. In the few months since the Panel's first meeting, members have not had sufficient time to review all relevant documents or to learn of all the work that is being done to support the TSPA-VA.
