The project tackles one of the main challenges for a sustainable European energy mix, namely scientific and social credibility of geological high level nuclear waste disposal.

FUNMIG aims at:

Providing tools for scientifically sound performance assessment for radionuclide migration from near-field to hydrosphere/biosphere;

Covering the variability of different radioactive waste disposal approaches and host-rocks types under investigation in Europe;

Ensuring optimized use of resources and communication on this issue between Member States with large programs and a high competence levels;

Providing for knowledge transfer in order to foster a common competence level among all European countries;

Providing communication with national regulatory bodies responsible for the fulfilment of compliance with safety standards;

Ensuring applicability of results for different radioactive waste disposal options and national needs.
