The technology developer, Atomic Energy of Canada Limited (AECL), has compiled cost estimates (in 1994 U.S. dollars) for the CHEMIC process based on treatment of a simulated waste solution contaminated with metals (cadmium and lead at feed concentrations from 1 to 5 mg/liter) and strontium-90 [from 1000 to 2000 becquerel per liter (Bq/liter)]. The target treatment level is <0.014 mg/liter lead, <0.02 mg/liter cadmium, and <10 Bq/liter strontium-90. See Table 1 for estimates associated with this cost analysis. The AECL analysis indicated that costs of the CHEMIC process compared favorably with the estimated costs for treatment using reverse osmosis or fixed-bed ion exchange.

Abstract This paper examines the hydraulic interaction between emplaced engineered clay buffers and host rock formations. This has been achieved via the analysis of the re-saturation behaviour of a large scale in-situ experiment. Experimental results from a testing programme performed by Atomic Energy of Canada Limited, (AECL), are examined via both direct interpretation of the experimental results and numerical simulations of the test. Analysis of seepage rates into an open borehole indicate the presence of an EDZ prior to the emplacement and some healing of the EDZ after buffer placement. It is also found that correct representation of moisture infiltration into the buffer is essential to capture the variations in pore water pressure in the host rock. 

One such programme of research has been undertaken by Atomic Energy of Canada Limited, (AECL). As part of this programme a series of large scale in-situ tests have been performed including the Buffer/Container Experiment and the Isothermal Test. 

In 1967, CNEA initiated the feasibility study for the construction of Embalse Nuclear Power Plant (CNE) and in 1973 signed a contract with Atomic Energy of Canada Limited (AECL) and Societa Italiani Impianti P.A. (IT) for a 600 MW(e) CANDU-PHW (pressurized heavy water) type nuclear power plant. The construction of the station began in May 1974 and the commercial operation started in January 1984.
