Integration Group for the Safety Case (IGSC): Scientific Basis

Ongoing

The Scientific Basis activities of the Integration Group for the Safety Case (IGSC) examine important scientific and technical issues for the development and integration of safety cases. It intends to promote understanding of the disposal system behaviour, including an assessment of uncertainty. Examples include the performance of engineered barriers, geoscientific evidence as a basis for the safety case, and the sources and transport of gases in disposal system. Activities in this field are designed to address the question: "What do we know?"

Cementitious material (pub, 2012)
Gas migration (TC at 2011 IGSC-13)
Geosphere stability (WS in 2003, 2004, 2005 )
Role of the biosphere (TC at IGSC-3 )

Expert Group on Geological Repositories in Crystalline Rock Formations (Crystalline Club)

The Crystalline Club (CRC) is composed of technical experts with experience in evaluating or reviewing the understanding of crystalline rock as host rocks for deep geologic disposal projects. CRC members represent waste management agencies, regulatory authorities, academic institutions, and research and development institutions.

See

Expert Group on Repositories in Rock Salt Formations (Salt Club)

The main objective of the Salt Club is to make the current knowledge base on rock salt more readily available to member countries, particularly those countries with adequate rock salt deposits to host a repository.

See

Working Group on the Characterisation, the Understanding and the Performance of Argillaceous Rocks as Repository Host Formations (Clay Club)

The Clay Club promotes the exchange of information, shared approaches and methods to develop and document an understanding of clay media as a host rock for a repository.
