SUMMARY
The thermal performance of commercial high-level waste packages was evaluated on a
preliminary basis for the candidate Yucca Mountain repository site. The purpose of this study is to
provide an estimate for waste package component temperatures as a function of isolation time in
tuff. Several recommendations are made concerning the additional information and modeling
needed to evaluate the thermal performance of the Yucca Mountain repository system.iii
