چکیده

The future is unpredictable. Under these circumstances, how can we plan and construct a nuclear waste repository that supposed to safely store the for up million years – an endeavor may in itself take more than hundred years? In this introduction special topic on of disposal, first look at question by searching literature answers giving short overview current status site selection different countries, including possible challenges.

Probabilistic risk analysis for a high-level radioactive waste repository.

A probabilistic risk analysis (PRA) for a high-level radioactive waste repository is very important since it gives an estimate of its health impacts, allowing comparisons to be made with the health impacts of competing technologies. However, it is extremely difficult to develop a credible PRA for a specific repository site because of large uncertainties in future climate, hydrology, geological ...

Performance assessment for the proposed high-level radioactive waste repository at Yucca Mountain, Nevada

Extensive work has been carried out by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) in the development of a proposed geologic repository at Yucca Mountain (YM), Nevada, for the disposal of high-level radioactive waste. In support of this development and an associated license application to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), the DOE completed an extensive performance assessment (PA) for the pr...

)tc- W( Application Of'geother/vt4 to Assess Groundwater Transients in a High Level Radioactive Waste Repository

The GEOTHER/VT4 computer code is an improved version of the GEOTHER computer code. The GEOTHER/VT4 code was applied to a two-dimensional simulation of a waste package in a high-level waste repository to predict the thermal-hydraulic environment where steam formation may occur. The thermal-hydraulic environment is important for assessing waste package container corrosion and packing material swe...

Heat Conduction in Radioactive Waste Repository

The paper presents some numerical tests for the temperature development around nuclear waste packages stored in vaults. We deal with two simplified models. In the first of them, a single long cylinder of the diameter 1 m is considered. It is filled with radioactive waste and surrounded by rock. The second model presents a long cuboidal package stored in a vault. The computation was carried out ...

Local acceptance of a high-level nuclear waste repository.

The siting of nuclear waste facilities has been very difficult in all countries. Recent experience in Sweden indicates, however, that it may be possible, under certain circumstances, to gain local support for the siting of a high-level nuclear waste (HLNW) repository. The article reports on a study of attitudes and risk perceptions of people living in four municipalities in Sweden where HLNW si...
