NEA Sorption Project Phase II
Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development 2005; US$ 98.00This report presents the results of Phase II of the NEA Sorption Project, which was initiated as a major international contribution towards demonstrating the consistency and applicability of different thermodynamic sorption models to support the selection of a sorption parameter, namely Kd values, for safety assessments. It was implemented in the form... more...
Engineered Barrier Systems (EBS) in the Context of the Entire Safety Case
Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development 2005; US$ 56.00The Integration Group for the Safety Case (IGSC) of the Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) is co-sponsoring a project with the European Commission to develop a greater understanding of how to achieve the necessary integration for successful design, construction, testing, modelling and performance assessment of engineered barrier systems (EBS). These proceedings... more...
Towards Transparent, Proportionate and Deliverable Regulation for Geological Disposal
Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development 2010; US$ 91.00These workshop proceedings highlight the significant amount of work accomplished over the past decade in delivering transparent, proportionate regulation for geological disposal, and identify important differences between national regulations even if these are not in contradiction with international guidance. They also underline... more...
Waste Management and the Environment III
WIT Press 2006; US$ 498.00Waste management is one of the key issues of modern society and requires constant advancement in the adopted practices and technologies in order to keep up with the new industrial technologies and commodities introduced to the market every year, which can have varying impacts on the environment.This book bring together papers from the Third International... more...
Air Pollution XIV
WIT Press 2006; US$ 572.00Pollution is widespread throughout the world, and elimination of the risks to human health is of the utmost importance. Air Pollution XIV examines the development of experimental as well as computational techniques to achieve a better understanding of air pollution problems and seek their solutions.This volume contains papers accepted for the Fourteenth... more...
Air Pollution XV
WIT Press 2007; US$ 390.00Air pollution represents one of the most challenging issues that humankind is facing. With the economic growth of emerging countries leading to an increase in the demand for energy, the prevention of air deterioration by means of controlling atmospheric emission has become an urgent task. The mitigation and strategies for traditional, but persistent... more...
Environmental Remediation of Uranium Production Facilities
Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development 2002; US$ 117.00Environmental remediation activities in uranium mines and mills have become increasingly important in the last few decades due to the large number of facilities which have been taken out of operation, the growing interest in remediating previously abandoned sites and the increasingly strict environmental regulations that are being put in place. Remediation... more...
Radionuclide Retention in Geologic Media
Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development 2002; US$ 92.00GEOTRAP is the OECD/NEA Project on Radionuclide Migration in Geologic, Heterogeneous Media carried out in the context of site evaluation and safety assessment of deep repository systems for long-lived radioactive waste. Retention of radionuclides within the geosphere for prolonged periods is an important safety function of deep geologic disposal concepts... more...
The Handling of Timescales in Assessing Post-closure Safety of Deep Geological Repositories
Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development 2002; US$ 81.00A workshop entitled the "Handling of timescales in assessing post-closure safety" of deep geological repositories for radioactive waste was organised in Paris on 16-18 April 2002 and hosted by the French Institute for Radiological Protection and Nuclear Safety (IRSN). The main objective of the workshop was to identify and discuss approaches... more...
The Use of Thermodynamic Databases in Performance Assessment
Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development 2002; US$ 92.00Performance assessment of repository concepts for the geological disposal of long-lived radioactive waste relies on the availability of thermodynamic data for many radionuclides and other elements under a wide range of physico-chemical conditions. For the past ten years, the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) has been co-ordinating a multinational effort... more...
