Geologic Carbon Storage (CO2-REACT)

Start date: Mar 1, 2013, End date: Feb 28, 2017,

The CO2-REACT ITN has been created to address twin objectives: (1) to provide urgently needed training in CO2 storage preparing candidates for critical roles in the coming years and (2) to significantly advance our understanding of the fate and consequences of CO2 injection into the subsurface during carbon storage efforts. The CO2-REACT ITN addresses these objectives through a balanced combinat ...

Metal Transport in the Environment (MetTrans)

Start date: Feb 1, 2012, End date: Jul 31, 2016,

Understanding the processes that control the transport of metals in the environment is essential for a wide range of fields, including environmental protection and remediation, mineral resources, climate change. Through recent analytical developments, it is possible, using natural variations in metal isotopes, to identify and quantify how metal concentrations in natural waters are controlled by in ...

Fast / Instant Release of Safety Relevant Radionuclides from Spent Nuclear Fuel (FIRST-Nuclides)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2014,

The EURATOM FP7 Collaborative Project “Fast / Instant Release of Safety Relevant Radionuclides from Spent Nuclear Fuel (CP FIRST-Nuclides)” is established with the overall objective to provide for improved understanding of the fast / instantly released radionuclides from disposed high burn-up UO2 spent nuclear fuel. This issue is given a high priority in the SRA of the IGD-TP. The outcome of the p ...

Creating the technology for safe, long-term carbon storage in the subsurface (CarbFix)

Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Sep 30, 2014,

CarbFix is a combined industrial/academic research program created to 1) increase measurably our understanding of the long-term fate of CO2 injected into the subsurface, 2) develop new technology to facility the safe and permanent of geologic carbon storage, and 3) publicise the results of this research allowing them to be applied internationally. Unique to CarbFix its running of the Hellisheidi ...

A multiple space and time scale approach for the quantification of deep saline formations for CO2 storage (MUSTANG)

Start date: Jun 1, 2009, End date: May 31, 2014,

The objectives of MUSTANG are to develop and disseminate a comprehensive set of methodologies and tools for the assessment and characterization of deep saline aquifers for CO2 storage, providing measures of performance and risk that are necessary for a cost-benefit analysis, ensuring public confidence and acceptance and promoting its deployment. Novel CO2 storage specific field investigation techn ...

Mechanisms of Mineral Replacement Reactions (Delta-Min)

Start date: Sep 1, 2008, End date: Aug 31, 2012,

In this ITN we investigate the mechanism of mineral reequilibration (phase transformation) in the presence of a fluid phase in a wide range of minerals and rocks, under a range of chemical and physical conditions, using both natural and experimental samples. Interface-coupled dissolution-reprecipitation is a recently defined mechanism which applies to a wide range of mineral transformation phenome ...

REDOX PHENOMENA CONTROLLING SYSTEMS (RECOSY)

Start date: Apr 1, 2008, End date: Mar 31, 2012,

Main objectives of ReCosy are the sound understanding of redox phenomena controlling the long-term release/retention of radionuclides in nuclear waste disposal and providing tools to apply the results to Performance Assessment/Safety Case. Although redox is not a new geochemical problem, different questions are still not resolved and thus raised by implementers and scientists. From a top-down appr ...
