Abstract A Radioactive Waste Management Systems Model, is presented. The systems model and associated computer code called AMRAW (Assessment Method for Radioactive Waste), has two parts. The first part, AMRAW-A, consists of the Source Term (radioactive inventory versus time), the Release Model, and the Environmental Model. The Release Model considers various geologic and man-caused events which are potential mechanisms for release of radioactive material beyond the immediate environs of a repository or other location; the risk analysis mode uses events distributed probabilistically over time, and the consequence analysis mode uses discrete events occurring at specified times. The Environmental Model includes: (1) the transport to and accumulations at various receptors in the biosphere, (2) pathways from these environmental concentrations, and (3) resulting radiation dose to man. The second part of the systems model, AMRAW-B, is the Economic Model which calculates health effects corresponding to the various organ dose rates from AMRAW-A, collects these health effects in terms of economic costs and attributes these costs to radionuclides, decay groups, and elements initially in the waste inventory. Implementation, with calculated results, of AMRAW for Terminal Storage in a Bedded Salt Reference Repository are presented. Preliminary demonstrations for the repository operations phase of waste management and terminal storage in a shale formation are described; possible applications to other radioactive and nonradioactive hazardous materials are discussed. AMRAW uniquely links all steps together in a continuous calculation sequence.
