The committee was asked to provide recommendations on the following two issues: (1) a research agenda to enhance confidence in the long-term performance of WIPP; and (2) increasing the throughput, efficiency, and cost-benefit without compromising safety of the National TRU Program for characterizing, certifying, packaging, and shipping waste to WIPP. The committee has written this interim report to provide DOE with recommendations on several issues that the committee believes merit immediate consideration and action. In developing this report, the committee has been guided by the principle of "reasonableness" with respect to risks, costs, and the ALARA (as low as reasonably achievable) principle. In the committee's judgment, implementing the recommendations contained in this report will contribute to the continued safe operation of WIPP. 410 0$aCompass series (Washington, D.C.) 606 $aRadioactive waste repositories$zNew Mexico$zCarlsbad Region$xSafety measures 606 $aRadioactive waste disposal in the ground$zNew Mexico$zCarlsbad Region$xSafety measures 606 $aAlpha-bearing wastes$zNew Mexico$zCarlsbad Region$xManagement$xSafety measures 615 0$aRadioactive waste repositories$xSafety measures. 615 0$aRadioactive waste disposal in the ground$xSafety measures. 615 0$aAlpha-bearing wastes$xManagement$xSafety measures. 676 $a363.72/89/0978942 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910965712703321 996 $aImproving operations and long-term safety of the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant$94470403 997 $aUNINA
