Two-phase Flow Analysis for Preliminary Performance Assessment of Waste Repository
نویسندگان
چکیده
Natural and artificial barrier systems are the key elements of a final repository site for hazardous waste in geological formations. The concept is to isolate the waste from the biosphere over a long period of time. During that period, groundwater is prohibited to access the waste since contaminated water may endanger people and environment. Hence, permanent monitoring is important to avoid risks and prevent severe damages. Here a model is presented, which is developed for the analysis of flow in barrier system.

A deep borehole repository is one of the four geologic disposal system options currently under study by the U.S. DOE to support the development of a long-term strategy for geologic disposal of commercial used nuclear fuel (UNF) and high-level radioactive waste (HLW). The immediate goal of the generic deep borehole repository study is to develop the necessary modeling tools to evaluate and impro...
