Nuclear Storage Facility Conflict
B: 'ensure construction meets contractual agreement i.e., on schedule and within cost'
D: design storage facility according to ASME Code VIII
A: 'have a storage facility that exceeds expectations'
| A-B: | Assumption(s) | Injection(s) |
| Construction must be completed within cost and on schedule | Cost over-run is covered by changes in later budget items |
C: 'ensure construction meets upgraded design standards i.e., within revised scope'
D': design storage facility according to ASME Code III
In order to 'have a storage facility that exceeds expectations' we must 'ensure construction meets contractual agreement i.e., on schedule and within cost' and in order to 'ensure construction meets contractual agreement i.e., on schedule and within cost' we must design storage facility according to ASME Code VIII . But, in order to 'have a storage facility that exceeds expectations' we must also 'ensure construction meets upgraded design standards i.e., within revised scope' and in order to 'ensure construction meets upgraded design standards i.e., within revised scope' we must design storage facility according to ASME Code III. we can't both design storage facility according to ASME Code VIII and design storage facility according to ASME Code III.
| Relation | Assumption(s) | Injection(s) |
| D-D' | Removing a part of the scaffolding early will cause the structure to fall | Some areas of the building are upgraded to Code III and the rest remains at Code VIII |
| B-D | Code VIII is considered safe. There may be no future safety analysis required | We irrefutably demonstrate Code VIII actually protects better than Code III in this building |
| C-D' | DOE will require conversion of newer buildings when they are in charge ($$$$$) | We know there are credible hazard scenarios in this building not covered by Code VIII |
| A-B | Construction must be completed within cost and on schedule | Cost over-run is covered by changes in later budget items |
| A-C | The duration of the nuclear material transfer project is 30 plus years | We find a way to shorten the nuclear material transfer project to less than 10 years |
