Key Topic 2: Wasteforms and their Behaviour
Overview
This research area deals with understanding the behaviour of various wastes in geological repositories. All wastes that may require geological disposal are within the scope of this research area, thus including the waste categories of spent uranium oxide (UO2) and mixed oxide (MOX) fuels, vitrified high-level waste (HLW), long-lived intermediate level wastes (ILW) and some low-level wastes (LLW). Spent fuel from research reactors and legacy wastes are also considered. The wastes represent the potential source terms for release of radionuclides if and when waste containers are breached.
Objective
The purpose of the research within this research area is to understand safety-relevant processes, in particular the contribution of the wasteform to radionuclide retention in the repository. It is important to systematically define the physico-chemical properties of the waste materials, including their chemotoxic properties and presence of complexing agents, as well as the total inventory of various radionuclides – these properties together determine the time-dependent release of radionuclides. Methods for quantification of difficult-to-measure radionuclides are required here. This allows the formulation of mathematical models in order to assess radionuclide release from a repository. Spent nuclear fuel, when considered as the waste form for direct disposal, needs to be well characterised to address both pre-disposal and post-disposal issues. This characterisation is central for heat-output calculations and criticality safety analyses, which impact optimisation of repository plans and component requirements, and the definition of the initial state for the assessment of post-closure safety. Continued studies concerning how processes expected in the repository will affect the release rate of radionuclides from the spent fuel is required for both uranium oxide and MOX fuels. Understanding the waste source term directly relates to the first pillar of the IGD-TP’s Vision 2040, to “safely operate” disposal facilities, and also to the ability to optimise the design and operation of the repository (the second pillar, “optimise and industrialise”).

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.

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.

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.

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.
