18 IAEA Network Courses Date Course Location September 2007 October 2007 Sept-Oct 2008 Deep Geological Repositories in Sedimentary Environments Transport and Retardation Processes in Fractured Rocks Concepts, Theory & Practice Fundamentals of Geological Disposal Peine, Germany (DBE Technology and BfS) Meiringen, Switzerland (Nagra-GTS) Tokai-mura, Japan (JAEA)

19 Peine (DBE Technology) Why sediments? Hydrogeological & hydrochemical properties of sediments Engineering properties of clay and marl formations Engineering properties of salt and anhydrite formations Repository design and operational considerations in clays and salt formations Morsleben repository visit Underground handling equipment Site characterisation history Long-term geological stability Backfilling and sealing the repository Konrad visit Geology of the area and site characterisation from surface and underground General approaches to site characterisation in sediments Geological disposal in Germany Days 1 to 3

20 Peine (Days 4 and 5) Repository safety concepts and safety Assessment case studies Callovo-Oxfordian (France) Opalinus clay (Switzerland) Mesozoic sediments of Konrad (Germany) Generic salt dome Morseleben salt dome Limestone-marl (Czech Republic) Natural analogues in clay and salt Underground experimental programme at Asse, Germany Fibre-optic instrumentation of underground experiments in clays, salt and hard rock.

21 Meiringen (Nagra-GTS) Concepts of geological disposal/geological environments for underground disposal Site characterisation and input to PA - gathering data for radionuclide migration evaluation in the field Treatment of radionuclide migration in PA: what are the data requirements? Role of URLs in national/international waste disposal programmes Historical overview of large-scale in situ radionuclide tracer testing experiments (surface and URL based) and their findings Radionuclide retardation processes in the geosphere (sorption, precipitation, matrix diffusion, colloids etc) and the link between Rd and Kd Supporting laboratory experiments how do the data and techniques support field experiments? What are the limitations? Water-conductive features in fractured rocks: characterisation, abstraction of information for PA Modelling in situ radionuclide tracer tests a look at how the approach has evolved Upscaling in situ tracer tests to the repository integration of laboratory, in situ and natural analogues: the example of the HPF experiment

22 Meiringen - Course Exercise Introduction to practical exercises (planning, radioprotection issues, drilling, mapping - follow an ongoing hydro-tests Case study - setting the objectives: planning and design of in situ work implementation and interpretation First simple hydraulic test First estimation of hydraulic characteristics based on field interpretation tools Modelling of planned tracer test, followed by design and experimental set-up FIRST TRACER TEST Interpretation Design and carry out SECOND tracer Test Interpret and compare with first results The regulator s view of in situ radionuclide tracer tests how and why did HSK licence Nagra to begin these tests over 20 years ago? The use of in situ radionuclide tracer tests in PA have the data been used successfully to support the needs discussed early in the week?

23 JAEA at Tokai-mura, Japan Day 1: Day 2: Day 3: Fundamentals Geological Repositories Site Characterization Visit JAEA Tokai ENTRY and QUALITY laboratory facilities Day 4: Day 5: Day 6: Safety Assessment Difficulties and Advances Optional visit to Mizunami URL September- October 2008 Draft only, for comment: needs detailed development!
