Description

The repository is designed to provide a robust system of multiple passive safety barriers. A range of well-understood features ensure that long-term safety can be demonstrated, while taking full account of any sources of uncertainty and detrimental phenomena. The design allows for the possibility of an extended monitoring period prior to final repository closure (Kontrollierte geologische Langzeitlagerung).
