The impact of Partitioning and Transmutation (P&T) and waste reduction technologies on the nuclear waste management and particularly on the dinal disposal has been analysed within the EU-funded RED-IMPACT project. The partnership collects 23 organisations drawn from European nuclear industry, waste agencies, research centres and universities. Five representative scenarios, ranging from direct disposal of the spent fuel to fully closed cycles (including Minor Actinide (MA) recycling) with fast neutron reactors or Accelerator-Driven Systems (ADS), were chosen in the project to cover a wide range of representatice waste streams, fuel cycle facilities and process performances. High and intermediate level waste streams, have been evaluated for all of these scenatios with the aim of analysing the impact on geological disposal in different host formations such as granite, clay and salt. For each scenatio and waste stream, specific waste pachage forms have been proposed and their main characteristics identified. Both equilibrium and transition analyses have been applied to those scenatios. The performed assessments habe addressed parameters such as the total radioactive and radiotoxic inventory, discharges furing reprocessing, thermal power and radiation emissin of the waste packages, corrosion of matrices, transport of radioisotopes through the engineered and geological barriers of the resultung doses from the repository. The major conclusions of this study can be summarized as follows: [...] |
