Computational modeling of deep borehole for the disposal of disused sealed radioactive sources

Abstract

The quality of borehole repositories for disposal of disused sealed radioactive sources (DSRSs) varies significantly depending on their characteristics and the drilling site's physical properties. Although complex systems, a complete coupled computational model which describes the evolution of borehole facilities' performance, safety, and integrity is achievable by implementing current literature descriptions of natural processes and events to 3D real-time visual and interactive media. Game engines provide a practical and robust method of visualizing data in a dynamic sandbox environment, which hastens analysis and creates an effective way to detect failures, leakages, and other impacts on the biosphere.
