Overcoming barriers to systems engineering process improvement
Systems Engineering, 2000Neither systems engineering nor process improvement is new. Since 1992, INCOSE papers and others have been reporting success in documenting and improving processes. A considerable body of process improvement literature is available, particularly related to improvement of software development processes.

Evaluation of a thermal criterion for an engineered barrier system
Engineering Geology, 2005Abstract The retention curve of French FoCa compacted clay has been determined at 20, 50 and 80 °C. A saline saturated solution has been used to control the suction. The temperature, up to 80 °C, has no influence on the e(Pc) curve. On the other hand, the water content and the liquid saturation degree are lower at 50 or 80 °C than at 20 °C.

Transformation of Bentonite Engineered Barriers System in Model Conditions
Moscow University Geology BulletinBentonite clays are widely used in various industries, including in the disposal of radioactive waste as components of engineered barriers system. The paper highlights the results of experiments on the transformation of bentonites under the influence of model solutions of pore waters of a crystalline massif, as well as on interaction with other ...

The evaluation of corrosion processes for engineered barrier systems
JOM, 2005The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) established a corrosion program to evaluate the predicted performance of the U.S. Department of Energy’s proposed engineered barrier system for the potential high-level waste geologic repository at Yucca Mountain, Nevada.

Overcoming barriers to transferring systems engineering practices into the rail sector
Systems Engineering, 2011Abstract There is increasing interest within the rail sector in applying the concepts of systems engineering. This paper presents arguments that the balance of concerns differs between a typical project in the rail sector and one in the domains in which systems engineering was developed and that this difference, together with a lack ...

Numerical analysis of canister movements in an engineered barrier system
Acta Geotechnica, 2014The mid-term safety of deep geological nuclear waste repositories is based in part on the presence of a buffer, the main role of which is to isolate the environment from radionuclides. A design evaluation of such a repository is necessary to assess the potential vertical canister movement inside the drift that could reduce the buffer efficiency.
