Are design analyses, including design methodology, design criteria, design bases, and codes and standards required to be included in the LSN?
A. Yes. All documents bearing on the design of structures, systems, components and equipment important to safety and to waste isolation are required to be included in the LSN. This includes information on materials of construction used during the building of the repository operations area; codes and standards used during design and construction; and the dimensions, material properties, specifications, analytical methods, design methods, design criteria, and design bases for structures, systems and components of both the repository operations area and the engineered barrier systems. Documents on the design of systems for physical protection of materials also are relevant. The general requirement for these documents is found in 10 CFR 63.21. The scope of information on design methods, design criteria, design bases and codes and standards that NRC may require in the license application are discussed in Section 2.1.1.7 of the Yucca Mountain Review Plan.
