Summary of PSHA process and results will have general use by reports needing a summary of the PSHA |
Concepts Developed or Processes Constrained | |
1 |
No development of concepts. Summarized PSHA results as follows: |
a) Ground motion hazard calculated for Point A (ground surface at elevation of repository) is comparable to moderate tectonically and seismically active sites elsewhere in the Basin and Range Province | |
b) Approaches to fault displacement hazard were developed for Yucca Mountain and hazard results indicate that fault displacement is not a seismic design issue for the repository, although block-bounding faults should be avoided in the layout of underground facilities |
