Long-Term Thermomechanical and Thermohydrological Factors Controlling the Optimal Design of a Nuclear Waste Repository

Abstract: Surface uplift and buoyancy flow are two of the major long-term, far-field perturbations to the geologic formations around a nuclear waste repository. The allowable surface uplift has been accepted in the literature as a criterion limiting the repository waste loading density. It has also been recognized in generic modeling studies that the buoyancy distortion of the ambient groundwater flow around a repository is a major mechanism for radionuclide transport. However, the buoyancy considerations have yet to be… Show more
