Table 3-11. Summary of Key Points for Disruptive Events AMR Characterize Framework for Seismicity and Structural Deformation at Yucca Mountain, Nevada

Assumptions

1

No assumptions. This AMR summarizes the results of the PSHA expert elicitation project and describes key assumptions for that project
Inputs

1

PSHA expert interpretations of:
  a) Seismic source characterization and ground motion attenuation characterization
  b) Fault displacement potential
Outputs

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
