PREVIOUS COURSE - 2022
This course is divided into two modules. Although both modules are linked it is possible for participants to attend one module only.
Module 1: This module will familiarize participants with the main approaches used for selecting sites for radioactive waste repositories. It will include an overview of Nagra’s own experience and recent staged approach starting from a ‘white’ map. Site selection programmes developed in other countries from around the world will also be evaluated and compared from both technical and social-political points of views. Participants will also learn about important lessons learned and key aspects to be considered when designing a site-selection programme.
Module 2: This module will teach about data collection techniques mainly from surface based geophysics and borehole investigations.
