Our capabilities and experience is based on our integrative systems assessment services and includes:

• analysis of key Features Events and Processes (FEPs) and  development of assessment scenarios that underlie a comprehensive safety case;
• development of conceptual models that reflect the available data and understanding of key processes;
• development and application of mathematical models for understanding key processes, and also for assessing sub-system and total system performance;
• near-field evolution and release modelling;
• flow and transport modelling in porous and/or fractured rocks;
• consequences of waste-derived gas including coupled modelling of resaturation, gas generation and two-phase gas/water flow;
• modelling radionuclide transfer and exposure in the biosphere including consideration of non-human biota as receptor species;
• assessment of the impacts of human actions including human intrusion;
• analysis of exposure to chemotoxic components of the waste inventory;
• uncertainty analysis, and assessment of the effects of spatial and temporal variability;
• use of multiple lines of reasoning, including  natural and historical analogues and supplementary analyses to support system understanding and stakeholder confidence;
• documenting and presenting assessments for a range of audiences, and identification of future R&D needs; and
• system specification, optioneering and optimisation studies.
