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.The initial objective of the research project is to delineate the statutory boundary conditions pertaining to an underground emplacement of hazardous wastes.
