Up to now, only little research has been done on the question of when a scenario is covered by calculation cases. The outcome of the EMS (Entwicklung einer Methode zur szenariengestützten Identifizierung von Berechnungsmodellen) project is intended to support the Federal Office for the Safety of Nuclear Waste Management (BASE) within the framework of supervision and approval in the evaluation process of whether scenarios have been sufficiently covered by calculation cases.

The BASE (German Federal Office for the Safety of Nuclear Waste Management) research project
Evaluation of Retrieval Concepts(BeRK) project addresses the following research questions: how could different retrievability measures and specific retrieval concepts be comparatively evaluated? How can measures for implementing and optimising retrievability be assessed in terms of their safety significance? How can trade-offs be reconstructed?

For 25 years, the rock laboratory at Mont Terri (Switzerland) has been playing an important role in the feasibility and safety studies of deep geologic radioactive waste repositories in clay formations. For the last 12 years, the Bitumen–Nitrate–Clay experiment has been running in situ experiments in this lab. This experiment addresses questions concerning the effect of biogeochemical perturbations of the clay by nitrate from radioactive waste on the migration of redox-sensitive radionuclides.

The study addresses the challenges of determining the durability of waste canisters in crystalline host rock by comparing and evaluating different international concepts for canister design and discussing their applicability to the requirements in Germany. Further focus lies on the evaluation of predominant corrosion mechanisms while also considering the geochemical environment of crystalline host rock in Germany that the canisters might be subjected to.

This workshop is intended to provide an opportunity to present, share and learn from each other by selected GIS and web applications related to the symposium's topic: resilient safety. Furthermore, GIS and web applications are interesting in the context of the site selection process (StandAV) in Germany.

A
resilient system at social levelcan be understood as one where society takes responsibility for the repository and acts to preserve – by preserving information and awareness – the basic conditions for future generations to take responsibility. Societal responsibility is also included in the concept of post-closure oversight, promoted, e.g., by the International Commission on Radiological Protection. This session aims to discuss (the need for) awareness preservation and post-closure oversight.

As national regulator within the German siting process, the Federal Office for the Safety of Nuclear Waste Management (BASE) performs own research on, e.g., geo-scientific questions, methodological aspects of the implementation of the site selection process, and public participation aspects. The results support BASE to fulfil its task according to state-of-the-art science and technology, ensure highest safety-level and are also relevant to other stakeholders of the siting process.

Short summary
The METIENS project, which is carried out by the Federal Office for the Safety of Nuclear Waste Management (BASE), investigates the fundamental challenges of a site selection process that is characterized by high variability with respect to host rocks, safety concepts, and repository concepts, as in the German case. The presentation will provide examples of unavoidable subjective decisions in the evaluation of safety.
