BELBaR, DOPAS and First-Nuclides activity pages added
26/03/2018
New project activity pages have been added for three historical EC research projects involving members of the IGD-TP:
- BELBaR – The BELBaR project aimed to increase knowledge of the processes that control clay colloid stability, generation and ability to transport radionuclides;
- DOPAS – DOPAS aimed to improve knowledge of the industrial feasibility of plugs and seals for geological disposal facilities; and
- First-Nuclides – First-Nuclides aimed to improve the understanding of the fast / instantly released radionuclides from disposed high burn-up UO2 spent nuclear fuel.
Information on the objectives, scope and members have been added, as well as copies of many of the project deliverables for your reference.
If you have any further information on these projects you think would be useful, or copies of additional project deliverables, please contact the secretariat@igdtp.eu.

Key Topic 3: Technical Feasibility and Long-term Performance
This research area involves demonstrating and optimising technology and construction of a repository and its components, including confirming a feasible and safe operational phase and ensuring that the required safety functions are provided in the long-term after repository closure.
Key Topic 1: Post-closure Safety Case
Research in this area aims to consider how consistent safety cases across the different waste management programmes can be developed, how safety assessment concepts and models can be developed and refined, and how sensitivity and uncertainty treatment can be improved.
Key Topic 2: Wasteforms and their Behaviour
This research aims to improve understanding of the behaviour of various wastes in geological disposal facilities in order to better quantify the processes controlling radionuclide, chemical and gas release from waste forms, to improve the quality of models used in safety assessments and to adequately define the types and magnitudes of uncertainties associated with various processes.
