Intermediate Level Radioactive Waste

ABSTRACTThe Loviisa low and intermediate level radioactive waste repository is located in southern Finland, at Loviisa NPP site on Hästholmen island, where two VVER-440 reactor units are operated by Imatran Voima Oy (IVO). The repository is excavated in the bedrock, 110 meters below the sea level.

Intermediate Level Radioactive Waste

The Wellenberg area, central Switzerland, is under investigation for a potential low and intermediate level radioactive waste repository. The host rock, the Palfris marl, is bounded on the north by Cretaceous limestone units of the Drusberg nappe and is underlain by a sequence of Tertiary to Jurassic sediments (limestones, marls) of the Wissberg-Firrenband-Equivalent. Chemical and isotopic data on groundwaters and rocks show that three essentially independent groundwater flow regimes occur in the area: (1) groundwaters of the Palfris marl, (2) groundwaters of the limestone units of the Drusberg nappe, and (3) groundwaters of the Wissberg-Firrenband Equivalent.

Intermediate Level Radioactive Waste

A project funded under the European Commission’s Phare Programme 2002 has undertaken an in-depth analysis of the operational and post-closure safety of the Baita Bihor repository. The repository has accepted low- and some intermediate-level radioactive waste from industry, medical establishments and research activities since 1985 and the current estimate is that disposals might continue for around another 20 to 35 years. The analysis of the operational and post-closure safety of the Baita Bihor repository was carried out in two iterations, with the second iteration resulting in reduced uncertainties, largely as a result taking into account new information on the hydrology and hydrogeology of the area, collected as part of the project. Impacts were evaluated for the maximum potential inventory that might be available for disposal to Baita Bihor for a number of operational and post-closure scenarios and associated conceptual models. The results showed that calculated impacts were below the relevant regulatory criteria. In light of the assessment, a number of recommendations relating to repository operation, optimisation of repository engineering and waste disposals, and environmental monitoring were made.
