Study of the retrievability of radioactive waste from a deep underground disposal facility. 1. Progress report. July 1992 - March 1993

Abstract

The economic consequences of choosing the option of retrievability for storage of radioactive waste in deep geological formations is investigated by comparison of two alternatives for the storage of the waste. One alternative is an open storage facility with minimal backfill and sealing, the other is a disposal facility where all galleries and shafts are closed and sealed. In the latter case the waste has to be re-mined from the surface. In order to determine the point in time where the costs for the second option will be lower, a start for a global mine-planning for the alternative options is made and some details are worked out. The above mentioned work is done for three types of host-rock: clay, granite and rock-salt, and for two waste strategies: all fuel reprocessed and the vitrified waste stored or all fuel direct disposed of.
