Figure 2-3. Preclosure Safety Analysis Process

This figure is a graphical representation of concepts described in the surrounding text in this section.
Each repository structure, system, and component is subjected to a preclosure safety analysis process that identifies events that are important to radiological safety. The analysis determines the probability of those events, whether they would result in a release of radiation, and the potential consequence of events that would. Structures, systems, and components are then classified into quality levels. SDD = System Description Document. Source: BSC 2001f, Section 5.2.
