SOPTIM can also dismantle - EPALKO - Storage planning and delivery logistics Konrad
EWN (Entsorgungswerk für Nuklearanlagen GmbH) has successfully implemented a system for planning and delivery of low and intermediate level radioactive waste from the public sector on behalf of the public sector coordination centre.
The software developed by SOPTIM records and archives the radioactive waste stored by the waste producers in various waste containers in waste data records. It then provides optimal emplacement proposals for the Konrad repository based on the complex waste data (e.g. material, amount of radiation, type of radiation, etc.).This is done by taking into account the limit value tables from the Konrad disposal conditions and the underlying calculation logic. Finally, it provides a complete overview of the waste packages being emplaced.. Furthermore, all data is securely archived and managed to provide traceable documentation.
