Objective
IN COMPARING WASTE MANAGEMENT ASPECTS OF DIRECT DISPOSAL OF SPENT FUEL AND REPROCESSING, A NUMBER OF RADIOLOGICAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS HAVE TO BE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION. TO ASSIST IN PERFORMING THIS COMPARISON, COMPUTER MODELS ARE INVALUABLE FOR COMBINING AND STRUCTURING THE DATA AND PRESENTING THE TRADE-OFFS INVOLVED IN OPTIMISATION OF VARIOUS FACTORS.
AS PART OF THE WORK TO BE UNDERTAKEN A COMPUTER MODEL WILL BE DEVELOPED WHICH ALLOW THE TRADE-OFFS INVOLVED IN DIRECT DISPOSAL OF SPENT FUEL AND REPROCESSING TO BE INVESTIGATED. THE PROCESSES THAT WILL BE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT IN THE MODEL WILL INCLUDE STORAGE, TRANSPORT, CONDITIONING FOR DIRECT DISPOSAL, REPROCESSING AND DISPOSAL. THE COSTS AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS FROM THESE PROCESSES WILL BE COMBINED THROUGH A MULTI-ATTRIBUTE HIERARCHY BY APPLYING WEIGHTS TO THE IMPACTS. THE MODEL WILL ALLOW SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS TO BE PERFORMED ON THESE WEIGHTS AND ON OTHER PARAMETERS SUCH AS THE TIME FOR WHICH SPENT FUEL IS STORED PRIOR TO REPROCESSING.
THE GOALS OF THE PROJECT ARE:
- TO EVALUATE THE RADIOLOGICAL AND ECONOMIC IMPACTS ASSOCIATED WITH DIRECT DISPOSAL AND REPROCESSING OF SPENT FUEL. THIS TASK WILL BE CARRIED OUT IN CONJUNCTION WITH OTHER CONTRACTORS.
- TO DEVELOP A MODEL FOR INVESTIGATING THE TRADE-OFFS BETWEEN THE RADIOLOGICAL AND ECONOMIC IMPACTS.
B.1. EVALUATION OF RADIOLOGICAL AND ECONOMIC IMPACTS
B.2. DEVELOPMENT OF A MODEL FOR INVESTIGATING TRADE-OFFS.

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.
