Overzicht

This intensive one and a half week course will give a comprehensive overview of different aspects involved in the stepwise implementation of a radioactive waste disposal facility. The course will focus on international best practices and regulations, national and international state-of-the-art, different R&D activities related to radioactive waste disposal, and hands-on practical exercises related to safety and performance assessments of disposal facilities.

Onderwerpen

The following topics will be treated:

  • National and international regulations
  • Safety principles and strategies
  • Disposal concepts and disposal projects, state-of-the-art
  • RD&D related to radioactive waste disposal, within the framework of the multi-barrier concept and including laboratory visits
  • Elements in a safety assessment + exercise on phenomenological evolution
  • Performance, scoping and screening calculations + exercise on scenario development
  • Safeguards aspects and monitoring of a repository
  • Public participation approaches
  • Review of the safety evaluation by the safety authority
  • Visit to Underground Research Facility HADES (Mol) and surface disposal facility site cAt (Dessel)

Doelpubliek

This training course is intended to attract scholars and professionals in radioactive waste disposal.

Voorkennis

The participant has to have a scientific-technical background (master in science or engineering).

Leerdoelen

Upon completion of this training course, the participant will be able to:

In terms of Knowledge

  • List and describe the different aspects (from implementer, regulator and R&D point of view) which come into play in the planning, licensing and implementation of a radioactive waste disposal site;
  • Identify and discuss the different safety functions, and their relative importance, adhering to a radioactive waste disposal facility;
  • Describe and justify the different R&D aspects which are linked to the different safety functions;
  • Describe and interpret (what it is and what it isn't) a safety and performance evaluation.

With respect to the exercise planned on Monday, June 6:

  • Integrate the phenomenological knowledge into the relevant spatial and temporal scales;
  • Evaluate the relevance of processes at given times acting on given components;
  • Evaluate key features of the safety concept;
  • Identify, interpret and justify the importance of uncertainties.

With respect to the exercise planned on Tuesday, June 7:

  • Integrate and conceptualize selected processes and events to construct base (reference, expected) scenario;
  • Construct approaches for uncertainty treatment;
  • Evaluate and judge on safety margins;
  • Justify the choice of uncertainty treatment.
