Abstract
A three-dimensional lithostratigraphic model of the central block of Yucca Mountain, Nevada, illustrates how some activities can serve both site characterization and design and construction of the Exploratory Studies Facility (ESF). Site-characterization activities supported by this model include characterizing the three-dimensional geometry of lithologic units and faults, and providing boundary conditions for geostatistical models and site-scale fluid flow modeling. This model supports the conceptual design as well as construction efforts for the proposed ramps of the ESF and potential high-level nuclear waste repository.
