Closure Planner

In line with international practice, the Swiss waste management concept calls for deep geological disposal of radioactive waste. With a view to the submission of the general licence application, it is amongst other things necessary to evaluate and develop the existing concepts for the following aspects:

– Emplacement of the disposal containers
– Backfilling and sealing of the drifts and caverns, including the selection of suitable materials
– Closure of access structures
– Retrieval of disposal containers

Within the framework of the tendered contract, the relevant site-independent (generic) concepts of the aspects listed above are to be further developed, evaluated and advanced to the maturity level of a generic preliminary project.
