Objective
THE COMPUTER MODEL VERMIN HAS BEEN DEVELOPED TO SIMULATE THE POST CLOSURE TIME DEPENDENT BEHAVIOUR OF THE VAULT SECTION OF SHALLOW AND DEEP LAND BURIAL TYPES OF REPOSITORY. DEVELOPMENT WAS CARRIED OUT WITHIN THE CONTRAINTS OF THE PROBABILITIC ASSESSMENT COMPUTER CODE SYVAC/1/.
THE PRESENT RESEARCH CONDUCTED FOR THE UK DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT INVOLVES BOTH THE GATHERING OF EXPERIMENTAL DATA AND ITS USE IN VALIDATING THE VERMIN SUB-MODEL WITHIN SYVAC. THE EXPERIMENTAL DATA WILL BE USED TO VALIDATE THE PROCESSES CURRENTLY MODELLED OF NUCLIDE MIGRATION AND GROUNDWATER IN A REPOSITORY. TO UPDATE VERMIN WHERE THE RESULTS OF THE VALIDATION EXERCISE SUGGEST THAT IT IS NECESSARY. TO IDENTIFY NEEDS FOR FURTHER EXPERIMENTAL WORK IN ORDER TO CALIDATE ASPECTS OF VER+IN AND POSSIBLE NEW ASPECTS OF THE VAULT MODEL FOR WHICH NO APPLICABLE DATA EXIST.
FINALLY, TO ENSURE THAT VERMIN PROVIDES A SUITABLE SOURCE TERM FOR THE AERE GEOSPHERE MODEL. CONCERNING THIS LAST OBJECTIVE, FINAL AGREEMENT ON THE UK INVENTORY MUST ALSO BE REACHED.
B.1. IDENTIFICATION OF FUNDAMENTAL PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROCESSES FOR EACH ELEMENT OF THE REPOSITORY MODEL.
B.2. GATHERING AND SORTING EXPERIMENTAL DATA FOR THE PROCESSES IDENTIFIED.
B.3. AREAS REQUIRING FURTHER EXPERIMENTAL WORK MUST BE IDENTIFIED AND EXPERIMENTS SUGGESTED.
B.4. VALIDATION FOR VERMIN MODEL.
B.5. REFINEMENTS TO THE VERMIN MODEL WHERE THE RESULTS OF THE VALIDATION EXERCISE SUGGEST IT IS NECESSARY, INCLUDING THE POSSIBLE ADDITION OF NEW PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROCESSES.
B.6. ACHIEVEMENT OF FINAL AGREEMENT ON THE UK INVENTORY.
B.7. VERMIN WILL BE ADAPTED TO PROVIDE A COMPATIBLE SOURCE TERM FOR THE AERE GEOSPHERE MODEL.
