Abstract

Current trends in modelling waste package performance are reviewed mainly from the perspective of the Swedish SKB studies. Examples are given, which illustrate the approaches for modelling different waste forms, i.e. HLW glass and spent nuclear fuel, and candidate canister materials, such as copper and steel. The relative importance of thermodynamics, reaction kinetics and near-field transport are discussed.
