Emission factor summary

Emissions generated by the activity within the product supply chain as described in ecoinvent v3.10. This is an immobile infrastructure representing the construction of a nuclear waste storage final repository for low level radioactive waste. The infrastructure is suitable for approximately 100 000 m3 of waste like conditioned spent fuel (SF) vitrified high level waste (HLW) and intermediate level waste (ILW) repository. In a first approximation the same values for land conversion and buildings are accounted as for the "nuclear waste storage final repository for high level radioactive waste". The time for construction and sealing of the repository is set as 8 years and 20 years are assumed as the operating time. With a period of 28 years for all land use the value for the industrial area is 7.28E+5 m2a for the grassland 1.82E+5 m2a. The process includes building material and energy requirements for concstruction land use and decommission. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary transforming activity. The reference product amount is 1.
