Vertical Project 5: Final Disposal in Deep Geological Formations without Options for Retrieval
Objectives
- research on aspects of the waste management option „deep geological disposal without maintenance “ (see description of the WP)
- establishing basics for the assessment of disposal options to be applied to the transversal projects. This is done by means of literature study and synthesis

Work Package 5.3: Numeric Modelling of THMC-Processes
Objective
Integration of existing or to be developed tools for numeric modelling of selected thermal, hydraulic, mechanical and chemical processes into the software developed by WP 4.1:
- THM-linked near field process simulation in saline rocks (WP 5.1)
- THM-linked near field process simulation in claystones (including two-phase-flow) (WP 5.2)
- THC-modell of the behavior of soluted contaminants in the temperature field and along gradients of salinity
