The scenario development process involves the collection and organisation of the important scientific and technical information necessary to assess the long-term performance or safety of radioactive waste disposal systems. The process involves the identification of the relevant features, events and processes (FEPs), the synthesis of broad models of scientific understanding, and the selection of cases to be calculation. Scenario development provides the overall framework in which the cases and their calculated consequences can be discussed, including biases or shortcomings due to omissions or lack of knowledge.
The NEA 1999 workshop on scenario development in Madrid had the objective of reviewing the development methodologies of scenarios and their applications. Since then, scenario development approaches used has evolved considerably. To reveal the latest methodologies for scenario development, the NEA Integration Group for the Safety Case (IGSC) organised a workshop in 2015 near Paris.
The workshop focused on three key topics (regulatory perspectives, national approaches and scenario completeness, comprehensiveness and sufficiency), and each one consisted of small group discussions guided by specific questions.
The working language of the workshop was in English.
This workshop was organised for NEA member countries only.
Proceedings were published and included abstracts and presentations, conclusions and observations drawn from the workshop.
