Objectives in the Program Nuclear Safety Research

Safety Research for Nuclear Waste DisposalBetter understanding of bio- and geo-chemical processes essential for radionuc-lide mobilization and immobilization in the near- and far field of a repository for nuclear waste. The quality of the long-term safety analysis of a repository depends strongly on the available relevant data sets. They have to be deter-mined and compiled in data bases

TransmutationTechnological solutions to relax the disposal issue by transforming long lived radio-isotopes into isotopes of shorter half-lives to reduce the necessary safe isolation times from several hundred thousands of years to a thousand years

Safety Research for Nuclear ReactorsSafety aspects of current and future reactors. It covers the development of methods for analyses of transients and postulated accidents, the investigation of ageing phenomena of materials and components, and the safety related aspects connected with the thermal fluid dynamics of cooling water or liquid metal flows.
