¶ 1st URS PhD WorkshopWe are happy to announce that the 1st URS PhD Workshop will take place in Hannover from 8th - 9th of September. The workshop plans to provide a platform for the exchange of ideas and constructive discussions about the interesting contribution of the URS PhD-researchers, and to create an important instrument for the promotion of junior researchers. |

The safety of a repository for highly radioactive waste has highest priority in the search for a suitable repository site. In order to make a well-informed decision, a wide range of safety-relevant topics must be considered and investigated. With the title "Uncertainties and Robustness with Regard to the Safety of a Repository for High-Level Radioactive Waste" (URS), the BGE has launched a research cluster that focuses on the uncertainties and robustness that are associated with each elements - geological and geophysical data, analogies, geoscientific models - that are used to draw assumptions regarding the suitability as a site with the best possible safety. The presented projects during this workshop aim to increase the knowledge on the various source of uncertainties, develop methods to quantify and potentially reduce the uncertainties in different subject areas, and improve the robustness and thus the safety of the investigated repository.
