Updated 3D structural-geological model of the HLW deep repository former potential locality EDU-West
The updated 3D structural geological model of the EDU-West former candidate site summarizes the existing geological knowledge at one of the nine sites considered for the planned deep repository of high-level radioactive waste in the Czech Republic.
The area of interest is characterized by relatively simpler geological structure that includes three lithotectonic units. Metamorphic rocks are of Prevariscan protolith, which was nevertheless significantly reworked during variscan orogeny between c. 340–330 Ma. Magmatic rocks are of Variscan age cca. 340–335 Ma.
The detailed 3D structural geological model of the EDU-West candidate site was created for SÚRAO (RAWRA) during the course of contract "Evaluation of Geological and Other Information of Selected Parts of Czech Moldanubicum in terms of Potential Suitability for DR – EDU-West Locality". The model itself was created in MOVE software and was submitted to SÚRAO in native MOVE format and in 3D PDF format.
