Abstract

CONDIMENT is the source code used in MELODIE, the overall French computer code for risk assessment of nuclear waste repositories in geological formations. This code models the diffusion-convection of elements released by a waste package, up to a distance of a few meters from the package. Two versions have been developed simultaneously:

- CONDIMENT2 deals with the case of a single element. This version is more specifically designed for vitrified high-level wastes. The boundary conditions are furnished by studies on aqueous corrosion of French nuclear glass R7T7.

- CONDIMENT3, deals with two ions that are liable to precipitate. This version is more specifically designed for wastes immobilized in cement.

CONDIMENT3 is verified in a configuration for which an analytical solution exists.
