Penetration sealing for the isolation of radioactive waste in geological formations in Europe

Description

The countries in Europe which are developing the storage of radioactive waste in geological formations are concentrating on one or two potential host rocks, due to demographic considerations and the restricted choice of rock types. In order to optimise the studies necessary to construct the penetration seal the requirements for the studies need to be defined early in the overall programme. These requirements are summarised here, and a staged development of penetration sealing procedures appropriate for incorporation in typical European repository suitability studies is proposed. It is emphasized that international coordination of the studies will not only present needless duplication of effort, but will also assist in unifying licensing procedures
