Fig. 1.1: EU Member States involved in IP FUNMIG are shown in dark grey (number of Contractors + Associated Groups in brackets). EU Member States that are not involved are shown in light grey. Switzerland is shown in dark grey, as a EURATOM signatory state involved in the project, but not as EU Member State. The project is centered around the R&D program on radionuclide migration processes in the farfield of a nuclear waste repository, (i) covering basic processes applicable to all types of host-rock types and disposal concepts, (ii) conducting investigations specifically addressing key issues for the three host-rock types presently under investigation in Europe (clay, crystalline and salt (with respect to salt; the overburden)), and (iii) from the R&D outcome, creating tools for PA and elaborating upon the application to the disposal Safety Case. The fundamental processes studied are those involved in the potential migration of radionuclides from a deep geological repository for high level nuclear waste in either type of host-rocks. It focuses on the radionuclide-host rock interactions that govern the barrier function between radioactive waste and the biosphere. 300
Fig. 1.2: FP R&D Projects with the different elements providing value to the project. Documentation and Dissemination of results builds on a series of measures. The basic approach to documentation of the project outcome is publication of results in open literature. This includes, for example project own public annual workshop proceedings, scientific journals, various national and international workshop and conference proceedings, institutional reports and doctoral thesis. The final reporting is done through a comprehensive EUR report, making reference to the different publications and institutional reports. In addition, a special issue in Applied Geochemistry will be used for documentation and dissemination of scientific highlights. The open Annual Project Workshops are also important for dissemination because of the broad participation, including participants from outside the project. With respect to scientific-technical achievements, project internal reporting is only used for very brief overview documentation. In this very brief internal documentation, reference is made to where the outcome is published, outside the project. The reasons for this approach are that (i) the outcome becomes available to a broader community within publication structures with long life-times and that are easy to trace, (ii) partners avoid duplication by generation of project internal reports with a short life-time and thus save human resources otherwise inefficiently spent, (iii) immature information is not published as project reports with no added value except for as transient documentation for the originator, and (iv) despite the very large project and the broad spectrum of activities, a good overview is kept over the status of the project and the outcome. Training and education provide for the future of the field, including maintaining the experience and knowledge base in view of contingencies for future challenges. Training and education is implemented through, (i) specific training courses, (ii) joint research activities between different organization and individuals, and (iii) mobility measures, especially for young scientists. Joint research activities with mobility measures for young researchers are also conducted through NoE ACTINET. This type of training on the job by joint activities with other institutions/organizations, including scientific and/or analytical visits proves to be very efficient. 301
