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 interim for low level radioactive waste before final repository. The infrastructure has a capacity for approximately 20 000 m3 of conditioned waste. The interim nuclear waste storage uses an area of approximately 32'000 m2 industrial area. Half of this area (16'000 m2) is accounted for in this module and the other half is accounted for in the module "nuclear waste storage interim for high level radioactive waste before final repository". The construction time of the facility is 5 years and the operating time is 55 years. The process includes building materials energy consumption during construction and decommiddioning (electricity and diesel oil) land use and decommission from dismantling of the buildings. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary transforming activity. The reference product amount is 1.
