Abstract

Requirements on radioactive waste of negligible heat generation with respect to transuranic elements, derived from the safety analysis of the operational phase of the Konrad repository, are described and resulting activity limitations are discussed. For assessing the long term safety, the calculation of individual doses in connection with the very slow water movements and, additionally, toxicity comparisons to other waste and to the natural toxicity at the site are discussed. Some information is given on the procedure of taking into account the activity limitations in an optimal way when planning emplacement campaigns.
