Disposal of Radioactive Waste and Toxic Waste in Underground Repositories

Obiettivo

The objective of this mutual research project between GSF and ECN is to delineate the statutory boundary conditions pertaining to an underground emplacement of hazardous wastes. It combines the basic knowledge of the repository concepts for the disposal of radioactive and hazardous wastes. The wastes of relevance to disposal are to be characterized according to type, composition, origin, toxicity and volume while taking the particularities of the situation in both countries into due consideration. Assumed potential hazards to the environment emanating from disposal are to be assessed on the basis of these data. The current strategies for an underground storage of hazardous wastes are described and compared with the concepts for the final disposal of radioactive wastes. Reference is taken to the special R&D topics of final disposal, such as the selection of the host rock, investigation of the geomechanical and hydrogeological situation, transport methods, backfilling and sealing techniques as well as the more complex subjects, such as the spreading of toxic agents and the safety analysis.

To date the project has considered the legal stipulations for the underground disposal of toxic wastes, based on the aims, requirements, techniques and safety concepts of radioactive waste disposal.
Work programme:

- Consideration of legal stipulations for the underground disposal of toxic wastes, based on the aims, requirements, techniques and safety concepts of radioactive waste disposal.
- Description of the types of waste, their composition, origin, toxicity and assessment of their potential hazards to the environment emanating from the emplacement.
- Description of strategies for underground disposal of toxic wastes and comparison with the concepts for radioactive waste disposal.
- Compilation of special requirements on the disposal of toxic wastes in deep geological formations, summarizing those results which can be generally adopted from the R&D work in the field of radioactive waste disposal.
