Safety Evaluation Report Related to Disposal of High-Level Radioactive Wastes in a Geologic Repository at Yucca Mountain, Nevada Volume 1: General Inf

This volume is one of five volumes shown in the table below that comprise the Safety Evaluation Report (SER). Each volume is to be published separately as it is completed
however, the volume number may not be published in sequence (e.g., Volume 3 is anticipated to be published before Volume 2). The SER volume number and section number of chapters within a volume, are based on the Yucca Mountain Review Plan (YMRP)1 that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff used to guide its review of the license application. Use of SER section numbers that correspond to the YMRP section numbers facilitated the NRC staff's writing of the SER, allowing the interested reader to easily find the applicable review methods and acceptance criteria within the YMRP. The following table provides the topics and SER sections for each volume. The table will help the reader locate SER section cross-references in each volume.
