DI Webinar | 4.1.1 – Site Descriptive Model

Content

This Domain Insight report introduces Site Descriptive Model (SDM) and key points to establish and define a model during siting and building a repository. The SDM is a foundational tool in geological disposal of radioactive waste. The SDM integrates geological, hydrogeological, hydrogeochemical, geomechanical, biosphere data and defines properties of the bedrock for radionuclides transport. SDM evolves through all phases of repository development: from programme initiation to post-closure. Provides a simplified but comprehensive representation of site conditions. The SDM is the basis for safety assessments, repository design, and regulatory reviews. A comprehensive SDM stress the importance of multidisciplinary collaboration, predictive modelling, and robust data management. The SDM can be designed to different geological settings and disposal concepts.
