The development of a methodology that can capture a wide range of multidisciplinary knowledge.

Site Selection: strategy, characterisation plan, geosynthesis, 4D Site Descriptive Model development.

Development of advanced disposal concepts, assessment and comparison of options, tailoring of designs to site conditions, testing of concepts in URLs.

Assessment of operational safety for a wide range of disposal concepts, use of operational safety/robustness to differentiate between repository designs.

Near-field evolution, geochemical databases for performance assessment, modelling.

Measurement and modelling of the distribution of natural and anthropogenic radionuclides in the environment; experimental study of radionuclide migration in the laboratory and in URLs.

Development and implementation; designing, running and interpreting experiments, coordination of multidisciplinary, international projects.

Development of NA concepts in support of radwaste disposal safety cases, planning and initiation of NA projects, reviews of NA projects, use of NAs in public communication materials.

Web-based communication platforms, publications, videos, lectures, teaching and training, linguistic polishing of documents.

Small modular reactors (SMRs) are advanced nuclear reactors that are generally defined as having a power capacity of 300 MW(e) or less per unit.

Advanced approaches to management of knowledge in the widest sense (including also related management of requirements, quality, change, documentation, etc.).

Development and integration of R&D programmes, participation in top-level technical advisory committees, development of advanced programme management tools.
