Trial Run of Fi­nal Dis­posal

Trial Run of Final Disposal

The Trial Run is the final phase of Posiva’s preparing for the operation of the DGR. It will be carried out with the methods, procedures, equipment and personnel to be used in the operation phase. It includes:

  • fuel transports
  • encapsulation
  • final disposal
  • retrieval of a "damaged" canister back to encapsulation plant and removal of dummy fuel assemblies


It consists of 4 canisters and about 70 m of deposition tunnel as well as the plug for the tunnel.

There is also an opportunity for WMO´s to participate and learn how the entire disposal process functions. Discuss with Posiva´s experts and gain insights to benefit your own national program.
