Description

Hyperalkaline groundwaters from Oman have been studied as a natural analogue to the porewater of aged cement. This study attempted to test the predicted solubility of a number of elements (Ni, Pd, Se, Sn, Th, U, Zr) derived from thermodynamic models developed for nuclear waste management against field observations. This paper presents an overview of the project with particular emphasis on discussion of the applicability of such studies in a safety assessment context. (orig.)
