Abstract

One of the main objectives of the Site Descriptive Models used by SKB (The Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Company) in Sweden and POSIVA in Finland is to describe the chemistry and distribution of the groundwater in the bedrock and overburden and the processes involved in its origin and evolution. Through various cooperation projects the two companies have created models and understanding of the geohistory and the effects on the current groundwater features, conditions and possible future evolution but also an understanding of the limits of such modelling approaches.
