EURAD Domain Insight (6.2.2) - Site characterisation and site confirmation

The roadmap describes typical programme goals, activities and capabilities needed against 7 themes, which are each further broken down into sub-themes and domains in what we can call the Goals Breakdown Structure (GBS). This document provides the overall goal for Site characterisation and site confirmation (Demonstrate to regulators (and other stakeholders, incl. the public) that a properly sited disposal facility will protect people and the environment at the time of disposal and in the very long term, following closure (Siting and +B90 licensing)) extracted from the EURAD Roadmap goals breakdown structure (GBS). This is supplemented by typical activities, according to phases of implementation, needed to achieve the domain goal. Activities are generic and are common to most regional and geological disposal programmes.
