To minimize radiological risk from the operation of a waste management system, performance limits on volatilization, particulate dispersion, and dissolution characteristics of solidified high level waste must be specified. The results show clearly that the pre-emplacement environs are more limiting in establishing the waste form performance criteria than the post-emplacement environs. Absolute values of expected risk are very sensitive to modeling assumptions. The transportation and interim storage operations appear to be most limiting in determining the performance characteristics required. The expected values of risk do not rely upon the repositories remaining intact over the potentially hazardous lifetime of the waste.

The use of magnetic flux compression to isentropically compress matter is summarized. Details of the process used to extract boundary data from the flash radiographs and the design criteria for the containment of very compressible material are discussed. Finally, suggestions for improvement of the next generation of experiments are made.
