Abstract:
Six areas of concern in nuclear waste management have been dealt with in a four-year
Nordic research programme. They include work in two international projects,
Hydrocoin dealing with modelling of groundwater flow in crystalline rock, and
Biomovs, concerned with biosphere models. Geologic questions of importance to the
prediction of future behaviour are examined. Waste quantities from the
decommissioning of nuclear power stations are estimated, and total amounts of waste
to be transported in the Nordic countries are evaluated. Waste amounts from a
hypothetical reactor accident are also calculated.
