Geotechnical Analysis Report for July 2001-June 2002
This report contains an assessment of the geotechnical status of the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP). During the excavation of the principal underground access and experimental areas, the status was reported quarterly. Since 1987, when the initial construction phase was completed, reports have been published annually. This report presents and analyzes data collected from July 1, 2001, to June 30, 2002. This Geotechnical Analysis Report was written to meet the needs of several audiences. This report satisfies the requirements presented in the WIPP Hazardous Waste Permit1 and the certification of compliance with Title 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Parts 191, Environmental Radiation Protection for Management and Disposal of Spent Fuel, High- Level and Transuranic Radioactive Wastes, and 194, Criteria for the Certification and Re-certification of the Waste Isolation Pilot Plants Compliance with the 40 CFR Part 191 Disposal Regulations. It focuses on the geotechnical performance of the various components of the underground facility, including the shafts, shaft stations, access drifts, and waste disposal areas. The results of investigations of excavation effects and other geologic studies are also included. The report compares the geotechnical performance of the repository to the design criteria. It describes the techniques that were used to acquire the data and the performance history of the instruments.
