Geological disposal of nuclear waste at Geological Survey of Finland | Dalton Seminar Series

Heini Reijonen, a chief expert on nuclear waste disposal and energy transition topics delivers a talk on Geological survey of Finland (GTK) which has been involved in the development of the geological disposal of nuclear waste since the 1980s. Site selection, site confirmation and related long-term safety studies have formed the core of their activities over the years. Today, GTK are working in the fields of combining various fields of site assessment disciplines (especially geology, structural geology, hydrogeology, hydrogeochemistry) aiming to further develop the methodologies and tools for various applications. In addition, EBS studies include bentonite, concrete and copper studies in various consortia. In this presentation a short introduction for the GDF development in Finland is provided. In addition, recent research developments in the field of geological disposal are presented.
