Development and Demonstration of monitoring strategies and technologies for geological disposal (Modern2020)
Start date: Jun 1, 2015, End date: May 31, 2019,
The Modern2020 project aims at providing the means for developing and implementing an effective and efficient repository operational monitoring programme, taking into account the requirements of specific national programmes. The work allows advanced national radioactive waste disposal programmes to design monitoring systems suitable for deployment when repositories start operating in the next deca ...

CAST (CArbon-14 Source Term) (CAST)
Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Mar 31, 2018,
The CAST project (CArbon-14 Source Term) aims to develop understanding of the generation and release of 14C from radioactive waste materials under conditions relevant to waste packaging and disposal to underground geological disposal facilities. The project will focus on releases from irradiated metals (steels, Zircaloys) and from ion-exchange materials as dissolved and gaseous species. A study t ...

Full Scale Demonstration of Plugs and Seals (DOPAS)
Start date: Sep 1, 2012, End date: Aug 31, 2016,
DOPAS aims to improve the adequacy and consistency regarding industrial feasibility of plugs and seals, the measurement of their characteristics, the control of their behavior over time in repository conditions and also their hydraulic performance acceptable with respect to the safety objectives.This DOPAS project addresses the design basis, reference designs and strategies to demonstrate the comp ...

Large Underground Concept Experiments (LUCOEX)
Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Aug 31, 2015,
The European Council outlined in its decision 2006/976/EURATOM the following objective for the research area “management of radioactive waste”: “Through implementation-oriented RTD, the activities aim to establish a sound scientific and technical basis for demonstrating the technologies and safety of disposal of spent fuel and long-lived radioactive wastes in geological formations ...”In the FP7 w ...

Long-term performance of Engineered Barrier Systems (EBS) (PEBS)
Start date: Mar 1, 2010, End date: Feb 28, 2014,
The main aim of the project PEBS (Long-term Performance of the Engineered Barrier System) is to evaluate the sealing and barrier performance of the EBS with time, through development of a comprehensive approach involving experiments, model development and consideration of the potential impacts on long-term safety functions. The experiments and models cover the full range of conditions from initial ...

Monitoring Developments for safe Repository operation and staged closure (MODERN)
Start date: May 1, 2009, End date: Oct 31, 2013,
The MoDeRn project aims at providing a reference framework for the development and possible implementation of monitoring activities and associated stakeholder engagement during relevant phases of the radioactive waste disposal process, i.e. during site characterisation, construction, operation and staged closure, as well as a post-closure institutional control phase. Monitoring provides operators ...

Fate of Repository Gases (FORGE)
Start date: Feb 1, 2009, End date: Sep 30, 2013,
"The multiple barrier concept is the cornerstone of all proposed schemes for underground disposal of radioactive wastes. The concept invokes a series of barriers, both engineered and natural, between the waste and the surface. Achieving this concept is the primary objective of all disposal programmes, from site appraisal and characterisation to repository design and construction. However, the perf ...
