5 – Repository ModulesIn Japan, two generic geological media are considered: granite and clay. Report H12 (1999) [51]presents a concept in which the primary package (CSD-V) is protected by a low-alloy steel over-pack.The over-packs are placed in horizontal or vertical cells about 2.20 m in diameter. A buffer ofprefabricated blocks of swelling clay (with 30% sand) is placed between the disposal package and theterrain (see Figure 5.2.5). The thickness of the swelling clay buffer varies according to the geologyconsidered and the specified strength of the over-pack. This thickness is in any case somewherebetween 30 and 70 cm.Figure 5.2.5JNC (Japan) concepts for disposal of C packages, according to the H12 reportIn Switzerland, the Nagra's "Project Opalinus Clay" report [44], presents concepts for disposal inrelatively stiff clay located at a depth of less than 600 m.The disposal packages are placed on compacted swelling clay bases in a lined repository drift (seeFigure 5.2.6). The distance between two adjacent packages is about 3 m. The spaces between andaround the packages are then filled in with pulverulent swelling clay, lightly compacted in-situ.Figure 5.2.6Nagra (Switzerland) concept for disposal of C packagesThe three examples presented above highlight the similarities with the Andra concept. The foreignconcepts generally adopt the principle of over-packs and the cells are usually horizontal. Furthermore,in nearly all cases, the packages are spaced a distance apart for thermal reasons.5.2.3 Description and sizing of the cell and access drift during the operating periodThis section is devoted to a description of the structures in the operating configuration. A descriptionof the "sealed cell" configuration is given in section5.2.6. The main characteristics of the cell and itsassociated access drift are presented in Figure 5.2.7. Figure 5.2.8 gives a more detailed presentation ofthe various components described below [65].DOSSIER 2005 ARGILE -ARCHITECTURE AND MANAGEMENT OF A GEOLOGICAL DISPOSAL SYSTEM200/495
5 – Repository Modules5.2.3.1 Description of the cell in operating configuration• Description of the equipment in the useful part of the cellThe useful part of the cell consists of a permanent steel sleeve. The choice of steel is justified by itsmechanical strength and the ease it offers for package handling in the cell. The sleeve is in contactwith the ground. The choice of steel grade at this stage in the feasibility study aims to minimisegalvanic corrosion effects and studies were therefore conducted on a low-alloy steel of grade identicalor similar to that of the over-pack.Figure 5.2.7General longitudinal section of the C cellDOSSIER 2005 ARGILE -ARCHITECTURE AND MANAGEMENT OF A GEOLOGICAL DISPOSAL SYSTEM201/495
