Short summary
The Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing is developing an electronic measurement system to be placed inside a concrete-filled waste drum to monitor the process of hardening and the evolution of the concrete over time to indirectly identify potential defects. The derived data will also serve as the basis for ongoing modeling approaches for digital twins. Overall, the sensors provide the means for enabling safe nuclear waste management through advanced monitoring.

The EURATOM project PREDIS targets the development and implementation of activities for pre-disposal treatment of radioactive waste streams other than nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste. Focus is on the development of treatment and conditioning methodologies for wastes for which no mature solutions are currently available, including metallic materials, liquid organic waste and solid organic waste. Monitoring and digital twin technologies for cemented waste are investigated as well.

Fast depletion of shallower deposits is pushing the mining industry to look for cutting-edge technologies for deep mineral targeting. We demonstrated a joint workflow including two state-of-the-art technologies: full-waveform inversion and reverse time migration. We produced Earth images with significant details which can help with better estimation of areas with high mineralisation, better mine planning and safety measures.

Short summary
Methods for mineral exploration play an important role within the EU. Exploration must be environmentally friendly, cost effective, and feasible in populated areas. Seismic methods have the potential to deliver detailed images of mineral deposits but suffer from these demands. We show the results for a sparse 3D seismic dataset acquired in Sweden. The 3D depth image allows us to track the known mineralizations beyond the known extent and gives new insights into the geometry of the deposit.

Short summary
This study presents a method for constructing angle-domain common-image gathers (ADCIGs) and common-angle stacks from Fresnel volume migration, which can facilitate prestack amplitude analysis from the migrated seismic data in the angle-domain. The results obtained in this study may eventually help improve the feasibility of rock characterization in challenging geological settings, such as in hard-rock environments.

Short summary
Passive seismic imaging methods use natural earthquakes as seismic sources, while in active seismic imaging methods, artificial sources (e.g. explosives) are used to generate seismic waves. We imaged some structures related to a major fault plane through a passive seismic imaging approach using microearthquakes with magnitudes smaller than 0.9 (Mw). These structures have not been illuminated by a previously conducted 3D active seismic survey due to their large dip angles.

In our study, we show the results of a passive seismic interferometry application for mapping the uppermost crust in the area of active mineral exploration in northern Finland. The obtained velocity models agree well with geological data and complement the results of reflection seismic data interpretation.

Short summary
A smooth transition toward decarbonization demands access to more minerals of critical importance. Europe has a good geology for many of these mineral deposits, but at a depth requiring sensitive, environmentally friendly, and cost-effective methods for their exploration. In this context, we present a sparse 3D seismic dataset that allowed identification of potential iron oxide resources at depth and helped to characterise key geological structures and a historical tailing in central Sweden.

We present a valuable experiment for ultrasonic quality assurance under realistic conditions for underground sealing structures made from shotcrete, where the locations of artificial reflectors are partly known. We apply advanced geophysical imaging methods to further enhance the quality of the obtained ultrasonic images.
