Abstract

Koncept geološkog odlagališta razvijen je u cilju sigurnog i dugoročnog zbrinjavanja
radioaktivnog otpada, a podrazumijeva trajno pohranjivanje radioaktivnog otpada u
podzemnim odlagalištima čime se dugotrajno štite ljudi i okoliš od štetnog utjecaja.
Izgradnja odlagališta radioaktivnog otpada je dugotrajna, a kako bi se postigla visoka
razina sigurnosti, pri izgradnji se koristi najbolja tehnologija. Tijekom razvoja odlagališta i
prije nastavka svakog pojedinog razvojnog procesa, izvedivost, sigurnost i prikladnost
predloženih sustava mora biti dokazana svim dionicima. Kako bi se dokazala robusnost
predložene tehnologije, ali i uspostavilo povjerenje, donošenje odluka zahtijeva praktične
demonstracije ključnih tehničkih elemenata. Podzemni istraživački laboratoriji imaju
važnu ulogu u tim znanstvenim procjenama i demonstracijama pružajući realno okruženje
za karakteriziranje i testiranje odabranih tehničkih pristupa. Samo podzemni laboratorij
može osigurati pouzdane in-situ podatke za demonstraciju operativne sigurnosti i procjenu
tehničke izvedivosti te omogućiti uvid u geološke uvjete u razmjerima stvarnog
odlagališta. Podzemni laboratoriji također mogu koristiti za jačanje suradnje u široj
znanstvenoj zajednici općenito u svezi s geoznanostima.

Abstract: The concept of engineered geologic disposal has been developed for the safe long-term
management of radioactive waste, and involves the placement of radioactive waste in
underground repositories which provide the long-term safe containment and isolation of
the waste, and subsequently, protect humans and the environment. Radioactive waste
repository takes decades to develop and uses the best available technologies and
engineering design to achieve its long-term safety. Throughout the development of a
repository, the feasibility, safety and appropriateness of the proposed system must be
proven to all stakeholders before a decision can be made and the development process can
progress. Decision making requires practical demonstrations of key technical elements in
order to show the robustness of the proposed design as well as to establish confidence.
Underground research laboratories (URLs) play an important role in these scientific
assessments and demonstrations by providing a realistic environment for characterizing
and testing the selected technical approaches. In areas such as demonstrating operational
safety, acquiring geological information at a repository scale and in constructional and
operational feasibility, only URLs can provide reliable in situ data. URLs can also provide
tangible benefits in enhancing participation by the general scientific community
concerning geo-science.
