Geochemistry of clays and radioactive waste disposal

Creators

Description

Many OECD member countries with nuclear programmes are considering geological disposal of long-lived radioactive waste in argillaceous media (clays). In order to determine the suitability of such media for disposal, it is necessary to undertake evaluations of the various barriers they provide. The NEA Working Group on Measurement and Physical Understanding of Groundwater Flow Through Argillaceous media addresses the many issues associated with this subject from an international perspective
