Continuation of the Development of Excavation for Mine Structures for a High-Level Waste (HLW) Repository in Claystone
The development of a suitable excavation concept navigates the tension between ensuring operational safety during storage, demonstrating long-term safety, and ensuring retrievability. This involves various technical areas such as questions regarding long-term behavior/corrosion or geomechanical stability. From the block of geotechnical-numerical modeling and verification, three sub-goals are defined for the project. There should be further development of the excavation concept for long-lasting drifts through in-depth planning of the tunnel lining and its individual elements (including yielding elements). Moreover, for the first time, suitable excavation concepts for drift intersections should be developed and dimensioned. Finally, a comprehensive system analysis of the 3D hydromechanically coupled calculations over the operational period and a large-scale three-dimensional stability assessment of a storage field should be conducted.
