Gas Formation in ILW and HLW Repositories, Evaluation and Modelling of the Production Rates and Consequences on the Safety of the Repository
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 28 February 2011
Abstract
This paper summarizes the main gas formation mechanisms in deep radioactive waste repositories. Production rates and overall gas volumes were estimated and showed predominance of hydrogen production by anoxic corrosion and radiolysis for French wastes. Gas evolution in the near field has been modeled. First results issued from a sensitivity analysis showed desaturation of the storage cavities for a wide range of parameter values.
