Description

This report presents a general approach to modelling of microbiological activity in a geological system constrained by the availability of nutrients and energy sources. Application of this model to determine the possible consequences of such microbiological activity in a repository for low- and intermediate-level nuclear waste (L/ILW) is demonstrated both for the repository considered as a whole and for a more realistic sub-section containing a particular waste type (ion-exchange resins immobilised in cement). Possibilities for further development of the model to consider the spatial distribution of components within the near field are also discussed. (author) figs., tabs., 22 refs
