Recently, there is a tendency to explore the possibility of increasing the maximum design temperature in deep geological repositories for high-level nuclear waste and spent fuel. In the paper, a number of issues related to the use of higher temperatures are reviewed. Both bentonite barriers and argillaceous host rocks are addressed. An application involving the modelling of a large-scale field test conducted at a maximum temperature of 140ºC is presented. It is shown that currently available theoretical formulations and computer codes are capable to deal with temperatures above 100ºC and to reproduce satisfactorily the thermally-induced overpressures in the rock.

Interaction Matrices

ABSTRACTIn a safety analysis of a repository for high level nuclear waste, it is of primary importance to identify and document all processes that are acting on the repository system. An interaction matrix methodology have been applied to the spent fuel subsystem. The purpose of this application is to identify, structure and rank the Process System and to discuss how the identified processes can be treated.
