Short summary
Short summary
The work presents decades of experience of performance assessment to support selection process in Switzerland, which includes complex THMC coupled physical processes, lifecycle assessment, probabilistic assessment, and integrated regional-, repository-, component-scale models. The final evaluation was made integrating a wide range of information, including regional stress conditions, tectonic structures, stratigraphy, lithology, mineralogy, and the impact from effects induced by the repository.

Short summary
In a deep geological repository for radioactive waste disposal, corrosion of metals can lead to the formation of gas. This work investigates the gas flow and release pathways in different sections of the repository using computer simulations. The focus is on the description of the method and workflow to develop these models.
