Consideration of Environmental Changes in Long-term Radioactive Waste Disposal System Evaluations

Objetivo

The objective of the work is a state-of-the-art analysis consisting basically in a well-founded, critical discussion of the phenomena of long-term environmental changes, their possible consequences on the biosphere of the EC countries, their basis and the existing or foreseeable scientific and technological capacity for suitable consideration in the safety evaluation of radioactive waste disposal systems, and of a comparative analysis of regulations, guidelines and tendencies on the post-closure timescales issue. The study will also include a comparative analysis between what is indicated above and the actual consideration given to climatic changes within the EVEREST project. So, a suitable hierarchization of the effects of environmental variations and their relevance to the safety of the repository would be an interesting complement to the efforts currently being made in the EVEREST project to evaluate the sensitivity of the different elements involved in safety evaluation methodologies for deep geological repositories.

Work programme:

This study will comprise the implementation of the following steps:

- Basis for safety evaluation of high-level radioactive waste disposal systems,

- Environmental variation and its effect on the disposal system,

- The human capacity to predict environmental evolution,

- Consideration of environmental change to disposal system safety evaluation,

- Comparative analysis with the EVEREST project,

- Conclusions and recommendations for subsequent development.
