The 1st Annual DISCO Workshop was held in Sheffield, UK, on 15-16 May 2018.  Hosted by the University of Sheffield, the meeting was attended by 57 representatives of the beneficiaries, the End-User-Group and external organisations.  One of the main sessions was a webinar given by K. Spahiu (SKB) on “The influence of the fuel composition and of the content of various non-uranium cations on the oxidative fuel dissolution”. The webinar was recorded and is available upon request.

An electronic copy of the proceedings of the first Annual Meeting will be available in the following months. The Proceedings will contain an update of the improvements achieved during the first project year.

DISCO

DisCo aimed to fill the gap of knowledge on spent fuel dissolution arising from the development and use of novel types of fuel (Cr-doped and MOX). The project successfully determined that there is no significant difference in dissolution behaviour between the studied novel fuels and conventional uranium dioxide fuels. The project also enhanced understanding of spent fuel matrix dissolution under repository conditions including the development of a number of chemical models.
