Abstract

Systematic procedure of developing radionuclide release scenarios was established based on FEP list and Interaction Matrix for the near-surface LILW repository. The relevant FEPs were screened by experts' review in terms of domestic situation and combined into scenarios on the basis of Interaction Matrix analysis. A computer program named IMFEP{sub NS} was developed to view and select project FEPs, to make its Interaction Matrix at user's disposal, and to visualize the interaction between FEPs and Interaction Matrix. The concept of approach to generate scenarios for entire domain is to divide the whole system domain into three sections: Near-field, Far-field, and Biosphere. Possible sub-scenarios were generated within each sectional subscenario set composed by assembling relevant FEPS and Interaction Matrix in advance, and then scenarios for entire system were built up with sub-scenarios of each section. As an application of established scenario generation approach, sixteen design scenarios and two alternative scenarios for near-surface repository were evaluated. Finally, a reference scenario and other noteworthy scenarios were selected through experts' scenario screening.

Using FEP's List and a PA Methodology for Evaluating Suitable Areas for the LLW Repository in Italy

Conference Risoluti, P; Ciabatti, P; Mingrone, G

In Italy following a referendum held in 1987, nuclear energy has been phased out. Since 1998, a general site selection process covering the whole Italian territory has been under way. A GIS (Geographic Information System) methodology was implemented in three steps using the ESRI Arc/Info and Arc/View platforms. The screening identified approximately 0.8% of the Italian territory as suitable for locating the LLW Repository. 200 areas have been identified as suitable for the location of the LLW Repository, using a multiple exclusion criteria procedure (1:500,000), regional scale (1:100.000) and local scale (1:25,000-1:10,000). A methodology for evaluating these areas has beenmore »« less

Licensing of the national repository for LILW waste in Bulgaria - 15609

Conference Biurrun, Enrique; Stefanova, Ira; Gonzalez Herranz, Emiliano

Radioactive waste arises from the operation and decommissioning of the Bulgarian nuclear power plants and from other sources in research, medical applications and industry. The need for building the National Disposal Facility (NDF) is recognized by the Bulgarian government, and described and justified in the Environment Impact Assessment Decision. The Bulgarian State Enterprise for Radioactive Waste Management (SERAW) is endeavoring to build a near-surface repository for short-lived low and intermediate level radioactive waste (SL-LILW). The European Union finances the establishment of the NDF through the Kozloduy International Decommissioning Support Fund. The Bulgarian government has defined the NDF as a Projectmore »« less
Modelling approach to LILW-SL repository safety evaluation for different waste packing options

Conference Perko, Janez; Mallants, Dirk; Volckaert, Geert; ...

The key objective of the work described here was to support the identification of a preferred disposal concept and packaging option for low and short-lived intermediate level waste (LILW-SL). The emphasis of the assessment, conducted on behalf of the Slovenian radioactive waste management agency (ARAO), was the consideration of several waste treatment and packaging options in an attempt to identify optimised containment characteristics that would result in safe disposal, taking into account the cost-benefit of alternative safety measures. Waste streams for which alternative treatment and packaging solutions were developed and evaluated include decommissioning waste and NPP operational wastes, including drumsmore »« less
FEPs Screening of Processes and Issues in Drip Shield and Waste Package Degradation

Technical Report Mon, K.; Rottinghaus, L.

As directed by a written development plan (BSC 2002 [DIRS 161132]), the primary purpose of this scientific analysis is to identify and document the analyses and resolution of the features, events, and processes (FEPs) affecting the waste package and drip shield performance in the repository. Thirty-three FEPs were identified that are associated with the waste package and drip shield performance. This scientific analysis has been prepared to document the screening methodology used in the process of FEP inclusion and exclusion. The scope of this scientific analysis is to identify the treatment of the FEPs affecting postclosure waste package and dripmore »« less

Environmental Transport Input Parameters for the Biosphere Model

Technical Report Wasiolek, M

This analysis report is one of the technical reports documenting the Environmental Radiation Model for Yucca Mountain Nevada (ERMYN), a biosphere model supporting the total system performance assessment (TSPA) for the geologic repository at Yucca Mountain. A graphical representation of the documentation hierarchy for the ERMYN is presented in Figure 1-1. This figure shows relationships among the reports developed for biosphere modeling and biosphere abstraction products for the TSPA, as identified in the ''Technical Work Plan: for Biosphere Modeling and Expert Support'' (TWP) (BSC 2003 [163602]).
