The safety assessment shows that the radiological protection objectives have been met. In all cases, the dose is significantly below the reference value of 0.25 mSv · year –1 . The safety of the repository is based on a multi-functional concept, involving the site, the design provisions and the primary packages in a complementary manner, giving the repository a high degree of robustness. The altered evolution situations identified by the analysis are few in number and relate to a limited number of well-identified scenarios. These do not lead to a radiological impact significantly greater than that of the normal evolution scenario.
