Abstract
This paper deals with the main durability design objectives adopted
for the Spanish Low-level waste disposal facility of El Cabril. The
presentation summarizes the studies and models developed to
represent the performance of the reinforced concrete vaults.
Particular attention is paid to recent developments in modelling the
water flow through the disposal system and its humidity saturation
and their relation to the long term behaviour of the concrete
barriers. It also describes the work being carried out to improve
the existing models as a part of the required effort to maintain up
to date the performance assessment of the facility.
