Title: <strong>Semi</strong>-<strong>analytical</strong> <strong>Stochastic</strong> <strong>Study</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Radionuclide</strong> <strong>Transport</strong> <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> Saturated ZoneBelow Yucca Mounta<strong>in</strong>Document No.: SIP-DRI-016/Rev. 0 Page 6 <strong>of</strong> 7Investigator: Jichun Wu, Ph.DTechnical: Tammy KluesnerExternal InterfacesYucca Mounta<strong>in</strong> Cooperative Agreement Technical Contact: Max PowellDOE Technical Task Representative: Drew ColemanSandia National Laboratories: Sean A.

A subcontractwith Dr. Wen will be developed after fund<strong>in</strong>g approval, and at that time he will be scheduled forQAP tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g.All data be<strong>in</strong>g used as <strong>in</strong>put <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> study consists <strong>of</strong> measurements previously made by o<strong>the</strong>r<strong>in</strong>vestigators and ei<strong>the</strong>r have been accepted <strong>in</strong>to <strong>the</strong> site technical database or published <strong>in</strong> peerreviewed journals. No samples are be<strong>in</strong>g taken or used <strong>in</strong> this study. The sources <strong>of</strong> all data whichwill be used <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> study will be recorded <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> scientific notebook and described <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> f<strong>in</strong>al report.It is be<strong>in</strong>g assumed that data from <strong>the</strong> site technical database is correct; confirmation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>accuracy, precision and representativeness <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se measurements is outside <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> scope <strong>of</strong> thisstudy.A suite <strong>of</strong> verification test exercises, for which <strong>analytical</strong> solutions are known, will be used toconfirm <strong>the</strong> accuracy <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> numerical method as implemented <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> source code be<strong>in</strong>g developed.Any deviations from <strong>the</strong> <strong>analytical</strong> solutions will be evaluated and described. All study activitiesand results, <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>put, parameter selection and computational results will be entered <strong>in</strong>to <strong>the</strong>scientific notebook. Due to <strong>the</strong> large volume <strong>of</strong> numeric output anticipated <strong>in</strong> a study <strong>of</strong> this type,much <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> output and results will take <strong>the</strong> form <strong>of</strong> electronic media (CDROM’s) which will becited <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> scientific notebook.
