... radioactive waste. To be granted the necessary licenses for the operation as a repository, proof of long-term safety is required. To be able to delay a mobilization and the transport of radionuclides in case of an inflow of saline solutions for the long term, the proof of long-term safety is also based...

... ABSTRACT A large-scale mock-up facility, China-Mock-up based on a preliminary concept of high level radioactive waste (HLW) repository in China, which is used to study the THMC properties of compacted GMZ-Na-bentonite, was constructed in the laboratory of BRIUG. A heater, which substitutes...

... ABSTRACT: : In the framework of a Tacis project funded by the European Union, the design and siting of an underground repository for low and intermediate-level radioactive wastes in North-West Russia is being carried out. Twenty-five potentially appropriate areas were examined and screened...

... ABSTRACT: Twelve research teams in the European Community participated in a benchmark exercise for rock-mechanics computer codes about disposal of radioactive waste in salt. Two cases were considered: firstly, a complex hypothetical problem; secondly a laboratory model test. This work...

... ABSTRACT: The characteristics of fractures and hydrology are described here for the radioactive wastes isolation in the mobile belt. Fracture statistics, origin of highly fractured zone and sound rock blocks, and Permeability of fractured and presented, the relationship among the data from...

... ABSTRACT: The paper describes the work during the planning and construction of underground repositories for radioactive wastes in rock salt. In the safety assessment the geotechnical stability analysis is a critical part. Such an analysis comprises an engineering-geological study of the site...
