Key Topic 3: Technical Feasibility and Long-term Performance
Overview
This research area involves RD&D activities for demonstrating and optimising technology and construction[1] of a repository and disposal components. This includes confirmation of a feasible and safe operational phase, as well as ensuring that the specified safety functions[2] will be provided over the required time frame after closure. Included are surface-based and underground works as well as construction technologies for waste containers (including waste encapsulation or overpacking facilities), buffer, backfill, plugs and seals. Also included is the demonstration of construction and operations of the repository and its components. It is noted that the requirements for the definitions of these materials and their associated properties are in many cases specific to the host rock and repository design concepts. Furthermore, this Key Topic addresses understanding of the repository components’ long-term performance and the maintenance of their safety functions. While reference is often made to repositories, this topic also includes technical feasibility and long-term performance for other concepts that might require RD&D.
[1] Construction includes the manufacturing of components and their emplacement.
[2] The post-closure safety functions generally include containment of waste for a required period and limitation of groundwater and solute transport, including retention of radionuclides.
Objective
The first objective (a) for Key Topic 3 is to demonstrate, to the level typically required by national licensing approaches, that the technical design requirements based on safety of construction and operations, safety during the post-operational transient phase, and long-term safety after closure, can be met in practice by available construction technologies and related working procedures. This includes confirmation of repository components against pre-defined design specifications to determine their state before closure and extends to optimising operations and costs over the lifetime of a repository. As a consequence, this objective contributes strongly to the first and second pillars, “Safely Operate” and “Optimise and industrialise”, of the 2040 Vision.
The second objective (b) consists of showing that the system demonstrated, according to objective (a), will provide all the safety functions needed for the system as a whole to fulfil the long-term safety criteria. This requires that the evolution of the engineered components and materials is sufficiently understood in the actual repository conditions over the specified timeframe. Because of the relationship between technical design requirements and long-term performance requirements these usually must be defined iteratively. In this context, robust design may be necessary to account for uncertainties. The second objective contributes mainly to the second pillar, “Optimise and industrialise”, of the 2040 Vision, with some contributions also to the third pillar, “Tailor solutions”.
Each component needs to fulfil the design criteria based on the specified safety functions of the repository and meet the qualifications defined in the regulations.

MIND 2017 D3.4 Year 2 Synthesis Report
Description: MIND deliverable D3.4 published July 2017. This report is a synthesis of the outcome of the experimental and modelling research activities in MIND WP1 and WP2, performed over the first 2 years of the project. The scope of the report is broad, covering all completed scientific and ‘in progress’ projects contained within MIND. The emphasis in this report is on the description of the degradation processes that can be expected and the environmental boundary conditions under which they can occur. The kinetics of these processes are not featured prominently here, but will become an increasingly prioritised aspect of the MIND project throughout the remainder of its tenure, and a next update of this report.

MIND 2015 D1.1 A Review of Anthropogenic Organic Wastes and Their Degradation Behaviour
Description: MIND Deliverable D1.1, published December 2015. Work Package 1 of the MIND project addresses remaining key issues for the geological disposal of ILW concerning the long-term behaviour, fate and consequences of organic materials in the waste along with H2 generated by corrosion and radiolysis. This review begins this work by collating information concerning the inventory and nature of organic materials present in ILW and some LLW that requires geological disposal. The review has then considered the physical and chemical conditions that the organic materials will be subjected to during storage and geological disposal. The review then provides a summary description of the physical and chemical nature of the main organic materials present in ILW and their known chemical and radiolytic degradation behaviour. The effect of the organic degradation products on radionuclide speciation, which could affect how some radionuclides are transported in groundwater, is then considered to focus subsequent work in this field.

MIND 2016 D2.1 Inventory of reducing gases
Description: MIND Deliverable D2.1, published November 2016. In order to provide data needed to address the question on geochemical constraints of biological activity at spent nuclear fuel waste repository sites, geochemical data of dissolved gases from deep drill holes and mines in Finland and Sweden were collected based on a literature and database survey. Gas data were found from 20 separate localities in Finland with the deepest drill holes extending down to 2500 m below surface. The gas phase is dominated by nitrogen and methane, although significant variation exists between different sites and with depth. At least partly this variation can be related to differences in lithology (rock types) and residence time of water within the bedrock. Corresponding data from Sweden were from 2 localities extending to at most 1000 m below surface.

MIND 2016 D3.3 Modular microbiology education and training
Description: MIND Deliverable D3.3, published November 2016. The overall aim of both the education and training initiatives in MIND is to cultivate awareness of the relevance of microbial issues in otherwise typically abiotic fields of expertise, and dissipate the knowledge gained in the MIND project beyond the known geomicrobiology expert circles. For this reason, modular training courses were developed, an exchange programme for Master and PhD students has been developed and focused communication on these initiatives has been undertaken.

Description: MIND Deliverable D2.4, Version 2, published April 2019. It has been hypothesised that cut-off bentonite density thresholds exist above which all bacterial activity stops or is inhibited to a such a level that it can be regarded as negligible. This report discusses if that hypothesis can be considered true or if more variables other than clay density determine bacterial activity in bentonites. The clays analysed and discussed in this report have been investigated previously. This deliverable summarizes previously performed work and new work performed within MIND.

DOPAS 2015 D4.2 Bentonite Saturation Test (REM)
Description: This report is Deliverable D4.2 of DOPAS WP4, and describes the “Bentonite saturation Test (REM)” carried out by Andra at a metric scale, with the same bentonitic material (pellets and powder admixture) as that employed in the construction of the FSS swelling core (construction experiment carried out in Saint-Dizier, within the frame of WP3activities). This saturation test is instrumental in comforting the knowledge and in the modelling of the bentonite seal behaviour (i.e. its saturation phenomenology), since the characterization work of the bentonitic material was anteriorly carried out at a pluricentimetric scale only (in “ordinary” oedometers): in summary, following the saturation course at a metric scale is more representative of real phenomena happening in a decametric core than doing so at a centimetric scale. This document D4.2 presents the links between the FSS construction and the saturation experiment. The experimental set-up and the way its phenomenological functioning will be monitored throughout 10 to 30 years are detailed (doing so at the FSS core decametric scale would take… thousands of years!). The very first experimental outcomes provided by REM are indicated.

DOPAS 2016 D2.4 WP2 Final Report – Design Basis for DOPAS Plugs and Seals
Description: This report provides a synopsis of the work undertaken in WP2. The report describes the safety functions, the designs, and design basis of plugs and seals considered in the DOPAS Project. The report includes an analysis and discussion of the differences between the design bases for plugs and seals in different repository concepts, focusing on the safety functions performed by each plug and seal, and how these impact on the requirements placed on the plug/seal. This report also describes the learning from WP2 on the processes used to develop and structure the design basis for plugs and seals within the DOPAS Project, and uses that learning to provide guidance on the development of a design basis in the context of repository plugs and seals. In particular, lessons are drawn on the iterative development of the design basis for plugs and seals, in parallel with development of the design, as well as the use of hierarchical structures to describe the design basis.

In the German concept for the final disposal of radioactive and hazardous wastes in salt formations, cements and cement-based systems are proposed as technical barriers (shaft and drift seals). Due to the specific boundary conditions in salt host rock formations these materials (salt and sorel concretes) contain crushed salt instead of sand or gravel. The programme aims at providing experimental data needed for the theoretical analysis of the long-term sealing capacity of these sealing materials.

DOPAS 2016 D5.8 Final report on conceptual and integrated modelling activities
Description: The safety assessment code LOPOS which is used by GRS for the integrated long-term safety assessments of repositories in salt has been further developed by the work presented in this report to account for the excavation disturbed zone around sealings and for the corrosion of the concrete sealing material. The models used for abstraction of these two processes were developed to well describe findings from experimental work and process level modelling. The new model was successfully tested on a simplified test case with deterministic and probabilistic simulations and applied to the ELSA shaft sealing concept.

DOPAS 2016 D5.10 WP5 final integrated report
Description: This report is the final report of workpackage 5 on “Performance assessment of the plugs and seals systems” of the DOPAS project. The aims of WP5 were to support the experimental work and the construction of the large-scale sealings by predictive process modelling and to understand the implications of the plugs and seal performance on the overall safety for the whole reference period of a final waste repository of one million years. An important element of this work was to develop justification of model simplifications for long-term safety assessment simulations. This includes the objective to improve the state-of-the-art in process modelling and its abstraction in integrated performance assessment. The report summarises the work performed in WP5 and where applicable, links to other reports were the results are given in higher detail.

DOPAS 2016 D7.2 DOPAS Training Workshop 2015
Description: A training workshop was planned and implemented as a part of the knowledge transfer from DOPAS Project results and from the process. A five-day training workshop was carried out in September 2015 in the Czech Republic. The training plan was based on four major learning units and related learning outcomes including the provision of a full learning cycle with both theoretical and hands-on application of the tasks needed to plan, to construct, and to monitor a full-scale in-situ experiment. The trainers were mainly the experiment and work package leaders of the project from eight partner organisations. The curriculum followed the content of the DOPAS Project plan starting from requirements and finishing with the technical feasibility considerations related to plugs and seals. This gave the participants an opportunity to construct and reflect on their own country's approach in contrast to the DOPAS approaches. The training workshop was run with great success and very favourable views were received to the extensive feedback that was collected from the participants and the tutors. This report describes the different stages of the workshop delivery (in Part I) and gives more detailed guidance for a potential user of the training plan and of the training materials developed (in Part II). Also the conditions of use are stated in the report and the training materials are available for download at the DOPAS Project website.

MIND Deliverable D2.10 – Microbial mobility in saturated bentonites of different density
Description: MIND Deliverable 2.10, published 30 June 2018. Our study fulfilled two most important goals. First, we developed a reliable method for direct detection of bacterial presence (both viable and dead cells) in the bentonite, which has been missing. Our method is based on the extraction of bacteria from bentonite using density gradient centrifugation and their subsequent Live/Dead fluorescence staining. Although our method needs further optimization and testing of its general functionality on different bentonite types, we believe it will be very useful for future research of bacterial presence in various clay materials.

MIND Deliverable D2.9 – Evolution of stress in biotic and abiotic clay flow cells
Description: MIND Deliverable 2.9, published 13 July 2018. Microbial activity has been implicated in both the corrosion of steel material and alteration of bentonite clays used in geological disposal facilities for radioactive waste. To understand the limits on microbial growth and the potential for microbial activity in this environment to affect the swelling behaviour of the clay and metal corrosion, a series of laboratory experiments were performed. The experiments described here were designed to investigate multiple effects of microorganisms (on steel corrosion, changes to bentonite swelling capacity, permeability and fluid flow) in a single set of laboratory scale flow experiments using compacted bentonite samples.

MIND Deliverable D2.7 – Microbial diversity in aged bentonites
Description: MIND Deliverable 2.7, published 30 July 2018. In this work, we studied a diversity of the microbial communities present in the compacted bentonites originating from two independent long-term in situ experiments (“Mock-Up experiment” and “Bentonite95 experiment”) performed under near field conditions. The compacted bentonite buffer was exposed under conditions similar to a high-level radioactive waste repository in crystalline host rock. We employed 16S rDNA amplicon sequencing to determine the microbial profiles in different parts of bentonite samples.

MIND Deliverable D3.3 – Modular microbiology education and training
Description: MIND Deliverable D3.3, published 10 November 2016. The overall aim of both the education and training initiatives in MIND is to - cultivate awareness of the relevance of microbial issues in otherwise typically abiotic fields of expertise, and- - dissipate the knowledge gained in the MIND project beyond the known geomicrobiology expert circles. For this reason, modular training courses were developed, an exchange programme for Master and PhD students has been developed and focused communication on these initiatives has been undertaken.

MIND Deliverable D2.2 – Design, set up and operation of experimental equipment
Description: MIND Deliverable D2.2, published 17 November 2016. A laboratory scale experiment investigating the impacts of microbial activity on bentonite structure has been started at VTT. The experiment simulates a worst case scenario where bentonite is not compacted, water, gases, nutrients and microorganisms are able to move along easily at temperature hospitable for microbial welfare. The aim is to find out if microorganisms and the produced metabolites are able to change the bentonite structure in favourable conditions and if these changes are significant for the bentonite ability to function in long-term scale. The experiment will be monitored with microbial sampling as well as with atomic force microscopy (AFM) once a year.

MIND Deliverable D2.1 – Inventory of reducing gases
Description: MIND Deliverable D2.1, published 22 November 2016. In order to provide data needed to address the question on geochemical constraints of biological activity at spent nuclear fuel waste repository sites, geochemical data of dissolved gases from deep drill holes and mines in Finland and Sweden were collected based on a literature and database survey. Gas data were found from 20 separate localities in Finland with the deepest drill holes extending down to 2500 m below surface. The gas phase is dominated by nitrogen and methane, although significant variation exists between different sites and with depth. At least partly this variation can be related to differences in lithology (rock types) and residence time of water within the bedrock. Corresponding data from Sweden were from 2 localities extending to at most 1000 m below surface.

Cebama Deliverable D3.03 – Consolidated plan for Upscaling Modelling Task
Description: Cebama Deliverable D3.03, published 1 August 2016. Work Package 3 is devoted to the modelling and interpretation of experimental data generated within CEBAMA. Different modelling approaches are used by each partner, with focus on reactive transport processes that can impact the physical properties of cementitious materials and their interface with clayey systems. Therefore, a common modelling task is needed for a better integration of the results and conclusions obtained in WP3. This report gives details of the proposed plan for such a modelling task. The goal of this task is to cluster WP3 activities around a common simulation case and integrate different spatial and temporal upscaling methods that are planned to be used by each partner. The work related with this activity will be undertaken during a period of approximately 2 years, from the 2nd Annual Workshop in May 2017 to June 2019.
