Grouting of water-conducting fractures with low-alkali cement is foreseen for the potential future repository for spent nuclear fuel in Finland (ONKALO site).
Simple models of the constraints on such growth can be used to scope the potential for activity to influence repository performance, particularly in relation to changing storage times, and to compare the CES design with conventional repository concepts.
Deep saline aquifers are among the preferred potential repositories for carbon dioxide Geological Storage (CGS).
We report results from a multi-scale thermohydrologic modeling study for two alternative thermal-operating modes for the potential repository system recently analyzed by the Yucca Mountain Project.
A prediction of the seepage rate is particularly complicated for the potential repository site at Yucca Mountain, NV, which is located in a thick sequence of unsaturated, fractured tuffs.
Instead of lamellae, dislocations were observed in the bright field image (Fig. 8b), indicating another type of defect hitherto not considered as potential repository for halogens and hydrogen.
The presence of actinides in radioactive wastes is of major concern because of their potential for migration from the waste repositories and long-term contamination of the environment.
On December 19 , 1984 the DOE selected ten locations in six states for consideration as potential repository sites, based on data collected for nearly ten years.
A numerical model was used to simulate the flow and transport processes at the Busted Butte Field Test Site for the purpose of quantifying the effects of hydrogeologic conditions beneath the potential Yucca Mountain repository horizon.
A majority of residents of the rural towns near Yucca Mountain, however, favoured the development of the repository because of the potential for job creation.
Yucca Mountain, Nevada, had been extensively investigated as a potential deep geologic repository for storing high-level nuclear wastes.
