We are glad to invite you to the Monitoring Equipment and Data Treatment for Safe Repository Operation and Staged Closure (MODATS) work package (WP) synthesis session. The MODATS WP of the EURAD aimed to evaluate, develop and describe monitoring methods and technologies, and to provide the means to measure, treat, analyse and manage monitoring data […]

Addressing uncertainties is an essential part of Safety Cases for geologic disposal facilities. An important instrument for doing so is sensitivity analysis (SA), by which the impact of input parameter uncertainties on the output(s) of model calculations is studied and evaluated. While some SA methods (such as linear and rank-based methods) are routinely applied in […]

All analytical results of an analysis come (or should come) with an uncertainty. This uncertainty, the “plus/minus number”, is often just taken for granted by the user of the results, without much further thought. In this talk, we shall explore in more detail what is hidden (or not) behind the uncertainty number of a destructive […]

The Lunch&Learn session organized by CORI is summarizing main information relevant in the context of this workpackage. Aim is to introduce (i) the basic scientific facts and concepts underlying this research focused on Cement-Organics-Cement-Interactions, (ii) explain the relevance of CORI in view of enhancing Safety, and (iii) present selected technical highlights from this EURAD activity. […]

Based on the huge volume of raw and processed information (here grouped as “knowledge”) to be handled in a national geological disposal programme, it is no longer a question of whether advanced KMS will be introduced into radwaste management programmes or not – only whether such systems can be developed and implemented before total collapse […]
