Release scenarios: water intrusion as a normal case

  • 1. Federal Office of Energy, Wuerenlingen (Switzerland)

Description

The concept of the swiss regulatory body to ensure the safety of geological disposal of nuclear wastes is exposed. The safety of a repository is supported by three pillars: isolation, immobilisation and retention. It is shown that for the geological conditions in Switzerland, water intrusion has to be considered as a normal case. Accidental events do not primarily cause releases from the repository but modify the migration properties. A model study on a repository for LAW/MAW in the swiss molasse basin is briefly presented to illustrate the assertions above. Finally some ideas on normal and accidental cases are presented
