Application of a support tool to assess the security. Prolonged waste storage case dangerous

A safe management of radioactive waste is a fundamental requirement to avoid impacts negative radiation to health and the environment. Security assessments allow assess compliance with regulatory requirements for different radiation applications Ionizing agents in society including the management of generated waste. The SAFRAN tool is software developed within the framework of several international projects sponsored by the IAEA, the It is aimed at strengthening operators and regulators in the safety assessments of waste management activities prior to final disposal. The work shows the application of this tool in a preliminary assessment of the safety of prolonged waste storage radioactive, compared with previous studies. The main differences identified in the results are associated with the different models used, mainly for the scenarios that They take into account the geosphere. The tool allows incorporating the most updated methodologies in the theme, integrate the security assessment process and facilitate traceability of the analysis among others advantage. The SAFRAN tool is a valuable support instrument in evaluations of the safety is recommended in the future expand its scope to the final disposal of waste radioactive
