Dynamic Activity Index for Feature Engineering of Geodynamic Data for Safe Underground Isolation of High-Level Radioactive Waste

In this study, we developed a new approach for feature engineering in geosciences. The main focus of this study was feature engineering based on the implementation of the dynamic activity index (MDAI) as a function of the anomaly of the spatial distribution of data, using systems and discrete mathematical analysis. The methodology for calculating MDAI by groups, geomorphological variability, the density of tectonic faults, stress-strain state, and magnetic field anomalies, is presented herein for a specific area. A detailed analysis of the correlation matrix of MDAI revealed weak correlations between the development features. This showed that the considered properties of the geological environment are independent sets and can be used in the analysis of its geodynamic stability. As a result, it was found that most of the territory where high-level radioactive waste (HLRW) disposal is currently planned is in a relatively stable zone.
