Migration case study: transport of radionuclides in a reducing clay sediment (TRANCOM-II). Final scientific and technical report of the EC TRACOM-II project

The TRANCOM-II project is conducted as part of the European Atomic Energy Community (EURATOM) 5th Framework Programme, specific programme on “Nuclear Energy” (1988-2002), Key Action on Nuclear Fission Area: “Safety of the Fuel Cycle – Waste and spent fuel management and disposal” under contract N° FIKW-CT-2000-00008. The project is a continuation of the TRANCOM-CLAY project under the 4th Euratom Framework programme. The purpose of this final scientific and technical report is two-fold: first, to present a comprehensive overview of the scientific work and results obtained and secondly, to compile all relevant and detailed technical information gathered throughout the project. The report consists of 3 parts: 1. The main report presents a comprehensive, integrated overview of the scientific work, outcome and conclusions and is similar to the final report published by EC: Maes et al. (2004) Migration Case Study: Transport of radionuclides in a reducing Clay sediment – TRANCOM-II. Final Report, EUR21022EN, EC, Luxembourg. 2. Technical annexes with detailed information to back-up the final report. Part of these annexes are reports (technical notes, topical reports) which acted as deliverables towards the EC for which most were constricted to the consortium during the period of the contract. 3. CD-ROM with the raw data structered according to the work-package structure of the project.
