Final disposal of nuclear waste requires the projection of the long-term behavior of the geological repository, through performance assessment, to demonstrate regulatory compliance with safety standards. Performance assessment considers natural as well as human initiated disruptions to describe the state of nuclear waste isolation and impacts of the failures of isolation on humans and the environment. This chapter describes how performance assessment is conceptualized and conducted and how the results are interpreted.
