Abstract
The disposal of radioactive waste in geological formation is of great importance for nuclear safety. A number of key geosphere processes need to be considered when predicting the movement of radionuclides through the geosphere. The main goal of this research is to investigate the influence of geostatistical data on reliability and accuracy of computational modelling. We chose the Kansa meshless method that uses radial basis functions as the mathematical solution technique. The aim of this study is to determine the average and sample variance of radionuclide concentration with regard to spatial variability of hydraulic conductivity modelled by geostatistical approach.
