School of Geological Disposal, Siting, Site Investigation & Site Characterisation Online training course – May/July 2025

SKB International and SKB are delighted to once again offer a scientific training course covering siting, site investigations and site characteristics.

The purpose of the course is to give trainees both a broad and fairly deep insight to the processes of siting, site investigation and site characterisation of a site for radioactive waste disposal. It is a level 2 course and is most useful for persons already working in the field of radioactive waste disposal, especially those involved in scientifically based investigations of the soil, bedrock and ground surface.

This course is for those working with siting and investigations to identify and assess a geological disposal facility for a nuclear waste disposal programme. It covers all aspects related to the needs of a safety assessment and technical developments of a repository. It does not include the licensing process which is governed by the national regulations and acceptance. Those issues are to be covered by a separate course.

Full course details are available on the SKB web page.
