Transient boundary conditions in the frame of THM-processes at nuclear waste repositories
In nuclear waste repositories, initially unsaturated buffer is subjected to constant heat emitted by waste canister in conjunction with peripheral hydration through water from host rock. The transient hydration process can be potraied as transformation of initial heterogeneity towards homogeneity as final stage. In this context, this paper addresses the key issue of hydro mechanical behaviour o...
متن کاملReliability of Risk Assessments for Geological Disposal of Nuclear Waste
FOR GEOLOGICAL DISPOSAL OF NUCLEAR WASTE Some aspects regarding the reliability of risk assessments for geological disposal of nuclear waste are investigated. The input for the study is given by the opinions of some interviewed Dutch experts and existing literature. The Dutch risk assessment PROSA is used as an example, but the conclusions are seen to be valid more generally. In the PROSA study...
متن کاملNuclear Waste Storage and Environmental Intergenerational Externalities
This article analyzes the long-term consequences of nuclear waste storage within a general equilibrium framework. The objective is to determine the conditions for which the storage of waste, and thus the transfer of externalities towards the future, can be optimal. These conditions could explain the implementation of intergenerational externalities, justifying an intertemporal Not In My Back Ya...
متن کاملRobotic Inspection of Nuclear Waste Storage Facilities
Introduction Safe disposal of nuclear waste is a difficult problem. Long-term plans are to house nuclear waste permanently in underground facilities. In the near-term however, nuclear waste is stored in temporary storage facilities at various sites around the country. Federal and state regulations require periodic inspection of these storage facilities to insure storage vessel integrity and ver...
متن کاملSpanish Protest against Proposed Nuclear Waste Storage
Siting the nuclear cemetery in Zarra would compromise the safety of the Valencians, said Juan Cotino, third vicepresident of Valencia's regional government earlier, in a reversal of the initially mild opposition to the ATC. Zarra could not satisfy the safety requirements for such a sensitive installation, he says. Most of the subsoil in the area ia a combination of clay and loam and could be ge...
