Resume

Au stade actuel des connaissances relatives au second site de stockage français, les calculs des conséquences radiologiques associés à une analyse de sensibilité mettent en évidence les principaux radionuélides à prendre en compte et font apparaître les paramètres sensibles de l’ensemble des barrières ainsi que les marges de sécurité résultant de Ja conception des ouvrages et de l’application des règles fondamentales de sûreté. Ceci permettra de mieux définir les capacités radiologiques et d’orienter les études expérimentales.

Summary

At the present development of knowledge of the second french disposal site, calculations of radiological consequences combined with a sensitivity analysis point out the main radionuclides to be taken into account, identify the sensitive parameters of the different barriers and evaluate the safety margins achieved through structural design and the application of general safety requirements. It will be possible to define the radiological capacity more accurately and derive guidance on the experimental studies.
