Geoscientific Characterization and Interpretation (Geosynthesis) within the Preliminary Safety Assessment in the German Site-Selection Procedure for a High-level Nuclear Waste Repository
In the first phase of the German site selection procedure, the subsurface is evaluated based on existing data only. The Federal Company for Radioactive Waste Disposal (BGE) collects, digitises and interprets data in order to identify regions for surface-based underground exploration. This contribution reports on the path of data within the site selection procedure, focusing on current activities and selected challenges such as making large amounts of analogue data available for interpretation.
