LowRiskDT
Project
Scientific
Objectives and Approach
The main
objective is to determine the stability and capacity
of reference mine repositories to provide safe and
permanent isolation of hazardous waste. Calculations
using recent rock characterization methods and numerical
techniques will be made of the stability of the rock
structure, and recent physico/chemical clay and concrete
models will be used for calculating the isolating
capacity of suitably backfilled reference repositories
in terms of the concentration of hazardous ion species
appearing in the farfield environment. The transport
of toxic elements will be calculated using relevant
flow and diffusion models applied to the reference
cases which represent different rock structures and
flow path patterns.
