  • Deep geological repositories and interim storage

    Waste management issues relating to the construction of deep geological repositories, including the encapsulation plant and long-term dry storage of spent fuel elements To date, ENSI has geared its research into the disposal of radioactive waste towards the assessments required by the Sectoral Plan for Deep Geological Repositories. As the deadline for finding sites approaches,…

    Tumour risk analysis: ENSI publishes scientific paper on calculation models

    Calculations of radiation-induced tumour risks should also take account of uncertainties in the models used. This is the conclusion reached by ENSI radiation protection expert Luana Hafner and physicist Alberto Stabilini in their scientific paper. In a collaboration with epidemiologist Linda Walsh, they compared different risk assessment models.

    Mont Terri Rock Laboratory

    The objective of the international Mont Terri Rock Laboratory Research Project is to study the geological, hydrogeological, geochemical and geomechanical properties of Opalinus clay. These properties are critically important for the assessment of the safety and technical feasibility of a deep geological repository for radioactive waste in this type of rock.

  • ARTIST

    ARTIST − Aerosol Trapping in the Steam Generator: the international ARTIST project examines PWR accident sequences involving core melt-down, steam generator heating tube rupture and faulty steam generator insulation. In accident sequences of this sort, radioactive substances may bypass the safety systems and be discharged directly into the environment.
