Site-Scale Modeled and Observed Permeability Values • Generally cross holes tests intersect larger rock mass and are more indicative of in situ conditions • Single cross hole test in Tram Tuff is believed more indicative of fault near test • Reasonable match achieved 00414PR_SZ_NRC_<strong>Andrews</strong>.ppt 36
Calculated Site Scale Groundwater Flow Paths • Nominal flow path trajectory is generally southeasterly from Yucca Mountain • Flow beneath Fortymile Wash is southsouthwesterly • Uncertainty in flow paths due to anisotropy and uncertainty in boundary conditions • Flow rates of about 0.7 m/yr under Yucca Mountain increasing to about 2.3 m/yr at 18 km 00414PR_SZ_NRC_<strong>Andrews</strong>.ppt 37
