A Temperature Distribution Model for a Nuclear Waste Prototype Repository
Result description
The disposal of spent nuclear fuel and other nuclear waste is one of the main contentions concerning the nuclear power industry. The design and construction of the deep geological spent nuclear fuel repository is very sophisticated process, which includes many types of particular analyses. One of the important partial studies of a nuclear waste repository can be called ?thermal dimensioning?, a basic simulation of thermal conditions depending on the structure and size of the repository. The important parameters for repository layout are thermal properties of the host rock and barrier, heat generated by a nuclear waste, number of disposal boreholes and their spacing. The design of repository is determined by thermal criteria, which place limits on the maximum temperature that can allowed in the barrier surrounding the boreholes. In this paper the finite element model is used to show the influence of heat transport properties of the rock and barrier, spacing of boreholes on the maximum t
