Definition of Rockfall Scenarios
Closing Date: 10 July 2008
OJEU ref: Not applicable
The NDA’s Radioactive Waste Management Division (RWMD) will have to produce an operational safety case for a Geological Disposal Facility (GDF). This will look at all aspects of the GDF and consider the consequences of any faults in a deep underground facility. The operational safety case will have to be assessed by the regulators before a licence to operate will be granted.
One of the key criteria for ensuring long-term stability and safety in transport to and operations at a deep geological disposal facility is that all waste must be immobilised and contained. A key issue in the design and assessment of such waste packages is to provide safety against impact accidents within the access drift and vaults of a deep underground repository, particularly for the more challenging scenarios of rockfalls.
Stage 1, this ITT, is to identify rockfall scenarios appropriate to the GDF and will concentrate on the underground vaults where the waste packages will be emplaced. Stage 2, (a subsequent ITT), will develop models of these rockfall scenario(s) to determine the appropriate consequences from such events.
