The proceedings show a good understanding of the processes and events that can affect crystalline rocks and, although there is less confidence in predicting exactly when and where such events will occur and the volume of rock that will be affected, the extent of the impacts on a geological repository can be confidently addressed using bounding approaches supported by geological information from similar sites around the world.

Synthesis of the Workshop
Nuclear Energy Agency
The workshop was divided into four plenary sessions and a poster session. The first plenary session discussed the general framework to be followed when considering deep disposal in crystalline rocks. The subsequent sessions focused on more specific processes of importance to the stability of crystalline rocks, their response and resilience to natural perturbations and arguments to support confidence in their stability.
