Abstract

SUDOKU, a work package in the EURAD-2 Partnership, is the acronym for Near-Surface Disposal Optimization based on Knowledge and Understanding. Its general objective is understanding the behaviour and performances of covers and cementitious barriers of near-surface disposal facilities for short lived waste (ground level facilities) and ILW (shallow deep facilities) in view of these barriers optimization to ensure the long-term safety of disposal facilities. A special focus is on the long-lived mobile radionuclides which mobility through the disposal zone depends closely on the properties of these engineered barriers.
