SUMMARY:DI Webinar | 4.1.1 – Site Descriptive Model
DESCRIPTION:Content\nThis 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. \nSpeaker\nJon Engstrom is an experienced Structural Geologist and project leader with 20 years of experience of research within Nuclear Waste Management at the Geological Survey of Finland. \nPractical information\nClick here to register.

SUMMARY:Lunch & Learn | Criticality Safety for Deep Geological Repositories
DESCRIPTION:Description\nDeep geological repositories (DGR) are designed to ensure the safe disposal of radioactive waste over very long timescales. Ensuring and demonstrating the criticality safety of a DGR is a safety requirement in all national programmes that must dispose of high-level radioactive waste such as spent nuclear fuel. Assessing criticality safety in the repository post-closure phase presents unique challenges due to the exceptionally long timescales involved. The EURAD-2 Work Package 17 “Criticality Safety for Disposal” (CSFD) is undertaking innovative research and development to address these challenges and strengthen the technical basis for demonstrating post-closure criticality safety. This presentation will provide an overview of the current state of the art as documented in the WP-17 initial SoTA report\, introduce the key objectives and activities of the work package\, and present the current status of the ongoing R&D programme. \nSpeaker\nDr. Madalina Wittel\, Senior Specialist Radioactive Materials at Nagra – National Cooperative for the Disposal of Radioactive Waste. \nPractical information\nClick here to register for this Lunch & Learn session.

SUMMARY:DI Webinar | 4.3.1 - Geological and Tectonic Evolution in Deep Geological Disposal of Radioactive Waste
DESCRIPTION:About\nUnderstanding geological and tectonic evolution is fundamental to the long-term safety assessment of deep geological repositories for radioactive waste. This webinar provides an overview of how geological processes operating over thousands to millions of years\, including tectonic deformation\, faulting\, seismicity\, volcanism\, erosion\, glaciation\, groundwater evolution\, and climate change\, are evaluated within repository programmes. \nDrawing on the EURAD-2 Domain Insight Geological and Tectonic Evolution\, the webinar discusses how geological information contributes to site selection\, repository design\, safety assessment\, and regulatory licensing. Attention is given to long-term geological stability and the assessment of natural processes that may influence repository performance over geological timescales. \nSpeaker\nNicklas Nordbäck is Senior Specialist at the Geological Survey of Finland (GTK) and holds a PhD in geology from the University of Turku. His expertise focuses on structural geology\, brittle fault systems\, fault reactivation\, palaeoseismology\, and the tectonic evolution of crystalline bedrock. He has more than twenty years of experience in geological characterisation\, repository-site investigations\, geological mapping\, and multidisciplinary subsurface studies. His work has included geological investigations supporting the Olkiluoto spent nuclear fuel repository programme\, geothermal-energy research\, and international expert assignments related to radioactive waste management. \nPractical information\nClick here to register for this webinar.

SUMMARY:Treatment and Conditioning of Low- and Intermediate-Level Radioactive Wastes
DESCRIPTION:About the course\n\nTreatment and Conditioning of Low- and Intermediate-Level Radioactive Wastes is a practical three-day training course that provides an integrated overview of how radioactive waste is characterised\, treated\, conditioned and prepared for safe storage and disposal. Participants will learn how different waste streams\, from operational\, decommissioning and legacy activities\, are assessed and managed using modern treatment technologies and conditioning materials. The course covers radiological characterisation\, decontamination\, waste-treatment routes\, conventional and innovative cementitious systems\, polymers and bitumen\, as well as the selection of suitable waste forms to meet waste acceptance requirements. Through interactive case studies\, participants will apply decision-making processes to realistic waste-management challenges and conclude with a technical visit to the El Cabril radioactive waste disposal facility. \nLearning outcomes\nCourse overall learning objective \nUpon completion of the course\, participants will be able to assess radioactive waste streams and select and justify pretreatment\, treatment and conditioning solutions that meet applicable waste acceptance criteria\, support long-term safety and disposal requirements\, and consider operational\, regulatory\, sustainability and supply-chain resilience factors. \nCourse Learning Outcomes \nAt the end of the course\, participants will be able to: \n\nExplain the role of pretreatment\, treatment and conditioning within the radioactive waste management lifecycle\, and assess how waste acceptance criteria (WAC)\, storage and transport requirements\, and disposal constraints influence the selection of management strategies.\nAnalyse physical\, chemical and radiological characterisation data\, taking account of sampling representativeness\, inventory gaps and uncertainties\, to identify waste properties\, management constraints and additional information needs.\nSelect and justify pretreatment and decontamination techniques\, including sorting and segregation\, based on technical feasibility and operational requirements.\nEvaluate alternative treatment technologies for aqueous liquids\, organic liquids\, spent ion-exchange resins\, sludges\, metals and solid wastes\, considering effectiveness\, operability\, secondary waste generation and waste minimisation objectives.\nCompare conventional and emerging conditioning matrices\, including cementitious systems\, alkali-activated and geopolymer systems\, polymers and bitumen\, considering waste–matrix compatibility\, processing requirements\, waste loading and long-term performance.\nIdentify key qualification and quality assurance requirements for conditioned waste packages\, including performance testing\, WAC compliance demonstration and assessment of long-term behaviour.\nEvaluate management options for legacy and unconventional wastes\, taking account of incomplete records\, characterisation uncertainties and retrieval constraints.\nApply a structured decision-making process within multidisciplinary teams to develop\, present and defend integrated treatment and conditioning strategies\, considering safety\, technical feasibility\, environmental impact\, sustainability\, cost and supply-chain resilience.\n\nPractical information\nThe course programme can be downloaded here.\n20 seats are available\, first come first serve basis. Please only register if you are able to attend the training course.
