Training aims The main aim of the training is to address the training need “7.3.1 Treatment of uncertainty” identified in EURAD deliverable D13.1 as one the five most urgent and highest priority topics. The training will also address other urgent and high priority topics such as “7.1 Safety strategy”, “3.1 Confirm wasteform compositions, properties and […]

Background information The geochemical evolution of the near field barrier system of a geological disposal is important in view of the safety and performance analyses of the repository as it will influence (i) the durability of the different materials, and (ii) speciation and mobility of radionuclides. Given the time scales involved (ten thousand to hundred […]

During this online lecture, Kastriot Spahiu, the author of the Spent Fuel State-of-Knowledge (SoK) document, will discuss the SoK document, which focusses on the release of radionuclides from the spent fuel during disposal. He will focus on the highlights from the document and will dive deeper into issues related to spent fuel which are not […]

Background information EURAD WP13 in cooperation with NEA, IGD TP and SITEX.Network would like to invite you to participate in the EURAD Training Course on Safety Case Development and Review. Every national programme dealing with radioactive waste management is obliged to develop the safety case in relation to the radioactive waste facility and related licensing […]

Summary WP FUTURE is holding Education & Training Event on the scientific basis and safety relevant aspects of radionuclide transport and retention. The event could be of relevance to a broad audience of researchers, especially early carrier scientists, interested at better understanding the radionuclide retention mechanisms and their role in different disposal concept. Objectives Provide […]

HITEC deals with thermal impact and GAS concerns gas transfer, both in the context of geological disposal of radioactive waste. This school allowed the attendees to improve their understanding of heat transfers, water and gas migration, stress and strain evolution in a repository. The school addressed both experimental and numerical investigations, at small (lab) and […]
