The purpose of this conceptual model analysis is to assist Performance Assessment Operations (PA) in modeling the volume of in-package water available for contact with the wasteform. The conceptual model developed in this analysis model report (AMR) represents an enhancement of the in-package water volume model that was abstracted into TSPA-VA performance assessment modeling. This enhanced conceptual model will allow PA to provide a more detailed and complete representation of the volume of in-package water available for contact with the wasteform as a function of time. The conceptual model is presented as a methodology appropriate for use in the total system performance model
