Modeling transient heat transfer in nuclear waste repositories.
The heat of high-level nuclear waste may be generated and released from a canister at final disposal sites. The waste heat may affect the engineering properties of waste canisters, buffers, and backfill material in the emplacement tunnel and the host rock. This study addresses the problem of the heat generated from the waste canister and analyzes the heat distribution between the buffer and the...
متن کاملCan clays ensure nuclear waste repositories?
Research on argillite as a possible host rock for nuclear waste disposal is still an open subject since many issues need to be clarified. In the Underground Research Laboratories constructed for this purpose, a damaged zone around the excavation has been systematically observed and characterized by the appearance of micro-fissures. We analyse here -at nanoscale level- the calcite/clay assembly,...
متن کاملHydrologic issues associated with nuclear waste repositories
Significant progress in hydrology, especially in subsurface flow and solute transport, has been made over the last 35 years because of sustained interest in underground nuclear waste repositories. The present paper provides an overview of the key hydrologic issues involved, and to highlight advances in their understanding and treatment because of these efforts. The focus is not on the developme...
متن کاملHeat Conduction in Radioactive Waste Repository
The paper presents some numerical tests for the temperature development around nuclear waste packages stored in vaults. We deal with two simplified models. In the first of them, a single long cylinder of the diameter 1 m is considered. It is filled with radioactive waste and surrounded by rock. The second model presents a long cuboidal package stored in a vault. The computation was carried out ...
متن کاملTransient boundary conditions in the frame of THM-processes at nuclear waste repositories
In nuclear waste repositories, initially unsaturated buffer is subjected to constant heat emitted by waste canister in conjunction with peripheral hydration through water from host rock. The transient hydration process can be potraied as transformation of initial heterogeneity towards homogeneity as final stage. In this context, this paper addresses the key issue of hydro mechanical behaviour o...
