Abstract
The Survey on Thermodynamic Application and Research from TDB users (START), conducted within the EURAD-2 DITUSC study, gathered information on the use, development, and needs of thermodynamic databases (TDB) in radioactive waste management. TDBs provide essential data to model radionuclide behavior under repository-relevant conditions. The survey, addressed to WMOs, TSOs, REs, and other institutions, collected 45 institutional responses from 23 countries.
This documento shows the results, THE highlight current practices, knowledge gaps, and future needs, supporting R&D actions to strengthen the quality, consistency, and applicability of TDBs.
