Condiment: Source Code for Risk Assessment of French Nuclear Waste Repository
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 26 February 2011
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.
