Abstract

Modelling of radionuclide transport in fractured media is a primary task for safety evaluation of a deep nuclear waste repository A performance assessment PA model has been derived from site characterization data with the aim of improving confidence for quantifying transport of sorbing radionuclides at a safety time scale of 106 y The study was conducted on a 200 × 200 × 200 m semisynthetic fractured block providing a realistic system derived from the Äspö Hard Rock Laboratory Sweden dataset The block includes 5632 fractures ranging from 05 to 100 m in length and a heterogeneous matrix structure fracture coating gouge mylonite altered and nonaltered diorite The PA model integrates steadystate flow conditions and transport of released radionuclides during the safety time scale An original simulation method was developed involving Eulerian flow and transport within fracture planes with a mixed hybrid finite element scheme and a semianalytical source term to account for heterogeneous matrix diffusion Total mass flux of radionuclides conservative to strongly sorbing was computed A method to simplify the system was demonstrated leading to a major path of 12 fractures This is mainly due to the low connectivity of the fracture network Matrix diffusion and sorption proved to have major impact on block retention properties for PA conditionsLa modélisation du transport de radionucléides dans les milieux fracturés est une tâche de première importance dans l’évaluation de la sûreté d’un site d’enfouissement de déchets nucléaires Un modèle d’évaluation de performances a été développé ici à partir des données de caractérisation de site et en se fixant pour but d’augmenter la confiance dans la quantification du transport de radionucléides sorbants pour des échelles de temps de 106 ans typiques de l’évaluation de performances L’étude a été conduite sur un bloc fracturé semi synthétique de 200 mètres de côté milieu jugé réaliste car ses caractéristiques ont été extraites des données du site du laboratoire souterrain Äspö Hard Rock Laboratory Suède Ce bloc contient 5632 fractures dont les extensions varient de 05 m à 100 m ainsi qu’une structure de zones matricielles complexe calcite remplissages mylonite diorite altérée et non altérée Le modèle d’évaluation de performances prend en compte des conditions d’écoulement permanent pour un transport transitoire de radionucléides relâchés à l’échelle temporelle pertinente pour les analyses de sûreté Une approche originale de simulation a été développée qui inclut outre un écoulement Eulérien un transport Eulérien dans les plans de fractures par schéma aux Eléments Finis Mixtes Hybrides auquel on a adjoint la prise en compte d’une diffusion matricielle hétérogène orthogonale par un terme source semi analytique Le flux total de radionucléides a été simulé pour un cocktail de traceurs non sorbants à fortement sorbants Une démarche de simplification des caractéristiques géométriques du système a été mise en œuvre et il a été démontré que le système pouvait être réduit à un chemin principal de 12 fractures Une telle simplification est en premier lieu due à la faible connectivité du réseau Il a été démontré que la diffusion matricielle et les phénomènes de sorption ont une influence dominante sur les propriétés de rétention du bloc fracturé étudiéEl modelado del transporte de radionucleidos en medios fracturados es una tarea primordial para la evaluación de seguridad de un repositorio profundo de residuos nucleares Un modelo de evaluación de rendimiento ha sido desarrollado a partir de caracterización de un sitio con el objetivo de mejorar la confianza para cuantificar el transporte de radionucleidos en una escala temporal segura de 106 años El estudio fue realizado en un bloque fracturado semi sintético de 200 × 200 × 200 m lo que proveyó un sistema realista derivado de datos del Laboratorio Äspö Hard Rock Suecia El bloque incluye 5632 fracturas que van desde 05 a 100 m de longitud y una estructura matricial heterogénea fractura revestida surco milonita diorita alterada y no alterada El modelo de evaluación de rendimiento integra condiciones de flujo permanente con el transporte de radionucleides liberados durante la escala temporal de seguridad Se desarrolló un método de simulación original que involucra el flujo Euleriano y el transporte en el interior de los planos fracturados con un esquema de elementos finitos hibridos mixtos y un término fuente semianalítico para determinar la difusión en la matriz heterogénea Se computó el flujo de masa total de los radionucleidos conservativos a fuertemente sorbing Se demostró un método para simplificar el sistema que condujo a una trayectoria principal de 12 fracturas Esto es debido principalmente a la baja conectividad de la red de fracturas La difusión y sorción en la matriz ha demostrado tener efectos importantes sobre propiedades de retención del bloque para las condiciones de evaluación del rendimiento模拟放射性核素在裂隙介质中的运移是深部核废物处置安全评价中的首要任务。从场地描述数据得到了一个性能评价 PA 模型 以提高量化吸附性放射性核素运移在百万年安全尺度上的置信度。研究对象为一个200 × 200 × 200 m的半合成裂隙块体

mássico total dos radionuclídeos de conservativo a fortemente afectado por sorpção Foi desenvolvido um método com o objectivo de simplificar o sistema que conduziu a uma rede de caminhos principais constituída por 12 fracturas Este aspecto devese principalmente à baixa conectividade da rede de fracturas A difusão e a sorpção na matriz rochosa mostraram ter um enorme impacto sobre as propriedades de retenção do bloco para as condições definidas pelo modelo PA
