Abstract
The design of the nuclear waste management system involves numerous choices among competing alternatives. Choosing the optimum alternative, however, is often difficult because of complicated tradeoffs. System models and the use of certain decision rules can aid designers in making these choices. One such system model, WADCOM II: A Waste Disposal Cost Model, is described and used, along with a \"minimax\" decision rule, to illustrate how one might select an optimum waste package alternative.
