The Cigar Lake Analog Study: An Intemational R&D Project

Abstract

This paper provides background information and summarizes the results of AECL's analog study on the Cigar Lake uranium deposit. This R&D project includes national and international cooperation with many organizations directly or indirectly involved in nuclear waste management research. The emphasis is on the analog aspects of this deposit and the implications of modelling activities related to the environmental and safety assessment of the Canadian disposal concept for nuclear fuel waste.
