On May 20th and 21st, the second CHANCE General Assembly took place and was kindly hosted by KEP Nuclear in Lyon, France.
During this meeting the general progress of the CHANCE project was discussed with the meeting participants.
At the meeting, it was also announced that one project partner, Forschungszentrum Jülich GMBH, will be withdrawing from the project as of May 31st, 2019. The other project partners discussed and aligned the redistribution of work caused by this withdrawal.

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.
