Quintessa is actively involved in this working group. The conclusions of this report have fed into the activities of Working Group 6 of the IAEA’s subsequent MODARIA programme, which has been working to develop a common framework for addressing environmental change in long term safety assessments of radioactive waste disposal facilities. The final report of this working group has been published in August 2016, as part of the IAEA’s TECDOC Series ( IAEA-TECDOC-1799). ![]() ![]() One of the models used in a quantitative soil-plant process modelling comparison was developed by CIEMAT ( Pérez-Sánchez, et al., 2012) and was implemented in Quintessa’s AMBER software. Since radionuclide releases from repositories may only occur in the far future, models needed to address potential changes to climate, land use, human habits and agricultural practices. This group worked towards the development of reference modelling approaches for assessing the radiological impact due to hypothetical releases of radionuclides from purpose built solid radioactive waste repositories to the biosphere. Quintessa participated in Working Group 3, “Reference Models for Waste Disposal”. Different aspects were addressed by nine working groups covering three themes: reference approaches for human dose assessment, reference approaches for biota dose assessment and approaches for assessing emergency situations.
