Objective
SINCE 1981, THE BRGM HAS BEEN WORKING ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF A METHOD FOR SYSTEMATICALLY STUDYING ALL THE FACTORS WHICH MIGHT INFLUENCE THE EVOLUTION OF A WASTE STORAGE SITE AND THEIR INTERACTIONS.ONE OF THE WORK PHASES CONSISTED IN A RELATIVE QUANTIFYING OF THE LINKS BETWEEN THE FACTORS AND IN MODELLING THEM SO AS TO COMPLETE REALISTIC SCENARIOS.THESE OPERATIONS ARE CARRIED OUT WITH A SIMULATOR CALLED CASTOR ("CONSTRUCTION AUTOMATIQUE DE SCENARIO D'EVOLUTION D'UN SITE DE STOCKAGE DE RADIONUCLEIDES" AUTOMATIC DESIGN OF SCENARIOS EVOLUTION OF A RADIONUCLIDE STORAGE SITE).
THE FIRST SIMULATIONS SHOWED THAT A FEW MAIN MECHANISMS GOVERNING SITE EVOLUTION SHOULD BE REPRESENTED MORE REALISTICALLY.
THEY ARE ESSENTIALLY THOSE CONCERNING CLIMATE VARIATIONS WEATHERING AND EROSION PROCESSES AND RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN STRESS AND HYDRAULIC PARAMETERS. THE SIMULATION PROGRAMME WILL HAVE TO BE MODIFIED ACCO9RDINGLY TO TAKE THESE MECHANISMS AND THEIR INTERRELATIONSHIPS INTO ACCOUNT SIMULTANEOUSLY.
THIS WORK SHOULD MAKE CASTOR CODE OPERATIONAL WHEN APPLYING THE METHODOLOGY TO SPECIFIC SITES.
WORK PROGRAMME WILL REVOLVE AROUND TWO MAIN ASPECTS:
1.INCREASING KNOWLEDGE AND MODELLING OF MECHANISMS WHICH APPEARED ESSENTIAL IN PREVIOUS PHASES.
A.CLIMATOLOGY: AS WELL MATHEMATICAL EXPRESSION OF FLUCTUATIONS IN THE NEAR PAST AND FUTURE ACCORDING ASTRONOMICAL DATA, AS SEARCH FOR PRESENT CLIMATIC EQUIVALENTS TO PAST CLIMATES.
B.WEATHERING EROSION: BETTER QUANTIFYING OF RATES ACCORDING TO LITHOLOGY, SLOPES, VEGETAL COVER, RAINFALL, TEMPERATURE, AND A TENTATIVE MODELLING OF EROSION PROCESSES.
C.RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN STRESS AND HYDRAULIC PARAMETERS MAINLY IN THE CASE OF THE OCCURRENCE OF AN ICE-CAP COVERING THE SITE AREA.
2.IMPROVING THE MODELLING OF THE PHENOMENA AND THE REPRESENTATION OF THE RESULTS OBTAINED.

Funding Scheme
Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
