Abstract:

The SKI Project-90 is a performance assessment of a hypothetical repository system with KBS-3 features in crystalline rock. A large part of the effort has been to identify and characterize the underlying uncertainties and scenarios that may affect the repository. The central analysis is a sensitivity study of the release and transport of radio-nuclides from the repository. In most situations only small amounts of radio-nuclides will be released, but there are some areas of uncertainty where the performance of the repository could be questioned. In both near-field and far-field the capacity for matrix diffusion and sorption, which depends on both geochemical and hydrological processes, has a dominant influence on the release of a large number of important nuclides. The uncertainties are partly of a conceptual or site characterization nature, but they may also be influenced by external events like faulting or failure in sealing the repository.
