How stable is spent fuel in a geological disposal? Six years of research into the impact of supercontainers

Description

Un-reprocessed fuel from nuclear power plants can probably be stored for hundreds of thousands of years in geological strata. To help support this decision, SCK-CEN is studying if the supercontainers in which this high-level radioactive material will be sealed, have an influence on the stability of the nuclear fuel. Six years of research has already shown that the concrete involved has no adverse effects on the stability of the spent fuel. The article discussed latest developments in this field.
