Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2016177876A1] The invention relates to a repository (1) for storing radioactive material in a rock formation, wherein there are at least two hollow chamber systems (4, 6) which are spaced apart from each other, and wherein a first hollow chamber system (4) forms a repository chamber (10) for the radioactive material in containers (20) and the second hollow chamber system (6) forms an access system (12), wherein the rock formation is a mountain massif (2), in which the first and second hollow chamber systems (4, 6) are connected to each other via connection passages (14) at a plurality of transition points, wherein the first hollow chamber system (4) forms a repository chamber (10) in which the containers (20) are free-standing and are accessible and removable, even when the repository chamber (10) is completely full, and the second hollow chamber system (6) forms an access system (12) enabling permanent access and being at a distance from the repository chamber (10) such that the access system (12) forms a radiation-free region for access to the repository chamber (10) at different locations of the first hollow chamber system (4).
