Abstract. After implementation of the Repository Site Selection Act (StandAG) in 2017, Federal Company for Radioactive Waste Disposal (BGE), as German waste management organization, started site selection procedure a nuclear repository high-level radioactive Germany. On way towards with best possible safety, is required to be participatory, transparent, learning and self-questioning process bas...

Geological maps are increasingly published and shared online, whereas tools and services supporting information retrieval and knowledge discovery are underdeveloped. In this study, we developed an ontology of geological time scale by using a RDF (Resource Description Framework) model to represent the ordinal hierarchical structure of the geological time scale and to encode collected annotations...

This paper is devoted to the study of Thermo-Hydro-Mechanical (THM) responses a porous rock with low permeability under thermal loading in context deep geological disposal radioactive waste. To this aim, numerical simulations benchmark exercise hypothetical high-level waste (HLW) repository were performed. considered as host formation Callovo-Oxfordian claystone (COx), which has been selected f...

The regional engineering geological conditions and geological hazard evaluation is the important part of realizing the railway geological selection, However, the accuracy of the evaluation largely depends on the reliability of basic information and reasonable mathematical model. Remote sensing provides reliable geological information and accurately reflects the geological conditions along the r...

A wide range of methodologies and software applications have been developed to generate 3-Dimensional (3D) geological model data. One of the main open issues is the exchange of these heterogeneous data from different sources, which influences the sharing and integration of 3D geodata. It is also a necessity to take into consideration the semantics of 3D geological data to enable its full exchan...

Using nuclear power for civil energy generation was a promising idea in the second half of 20th century. Compared to fossil fuels, results almost no CO 2 bearing emissions, which are known have triggered and enhanced global climate change. However, bears other risks, e.g. environmental health damage caused by radiation, unwanted release nuclides being transported water, accidents plants, not me...

Three-dimensional (3D) geological models are important representations of the results of regional geological surveys. However, the process of constructing 3D geological models from two-dimensional (2D) geological elements remains difficult and is not necessarily robust. This paper proposes a method of migrating from 2D elements to 3D models. First, the geological interfaces were constructed usi...

In this paper a finite volume method approach is used to model the 2D compressible and immiscible two-phase flow of water and gas in heterogeneous porous media. We consider a model describing water-gas flow through engineered and geological barriers for a deep repository of radioactive waste. We consider a domain made up of several zones with different characteristics: porosity, absolute permea...
