Palaeohydrogeological Data Analysis and Model Testing Database

PADAMOT (Palaeohydrogeological Data Analysis and Model Testing) is a database being built and populated as part of the PADAMOT project which is part of the 5th Framework R&D Programme of the European Union. The research being carried out is contributing to our understanding of the long-term safety of placing radioactive wastes in underground repositories. It is funded by the European Commission, Nirex (UK), SKB (Sweden), ENRESA (Spain) RAWRA (Czech Republic) and BGS (UK). The project is coordinated by Nirex (UK) and the research is being carried out by Terralogica (Sweden), CIEMAT, Spain, Universidad Politecnica de Madrid (Spain), Universidad de la Coruna (Spain), Charles University, Prague (Czech Republic), University of Edinburgh (UK), Intellisci (UK) and British Geological Survey (UK). Safety considerations for storing radioactive wastes must take into account the various scenarios for environmental change over the long period of time during which they will pose a hazard. One of the factors potentially affecting safety is therefore changing climate. Putting high level radioactive wastes and spent nuclear fuel deep underground in a 'geological repository' is the generally preferred option for their long-term management. A major reason for preferring this option is that the impacts of changing climate and the consequent increased uncertainty about long-term safety are removed or at least reduced by putting the waste deep underground.

NERC/BGS accepts no liability whatever in respect of loss, damage, injury or other occurence however caused.

Other constraints: Either: (i) the dataset is made freely available, e.g. via the Internet, for a restricted category of use (e.g. educational use only); or (ii) the dataset has not been formally approved by BGS for access and use by external clients under licence, but its use may be permitted under alternative formal arrangements; or (iii) the dataset contains 3rd party data or information obtained by BGS under terms and conditions that must be consulted in order to determine the permitted usage of the dataset. Refer to the BGS staff member responsible for the creation of the dataset if further advice is required. He / she should be familiar with the composition of the dataset, particularly with regard to 3rd party IPR contained in it, and any resultant use restrictions. This staff member should revert to the IPR Section ( ipr@bgs.ac.uk) for advice, should the position not be clear.

Supplemental Information: The database will be maintained and populated during the life of the project. It will continue to be used for an unknown period after completion of the main porject. Data provided from a range of sources depending on availablity. Highly detailed for local areas. Consistent within individual sites but may have logical differences between study sites.
