Influence of radiation, environment and temperature on the interaction of the spent fuel RMBK-1000 and borosilicate glasses under simulated repository conditions

Description

The study of UO2 oxidation in the RBMK-1000 spent nuclear fuel (SNF) specimens was undertaken depending on oxygen content in the gas medium and on the temperature. The second part of the study was concentrated on the barrier properties of the mountain rocks potentially acceptable for disposal of a deep repository. It is a necessary stage for the safe isolation of radionuclides from environment. The results of sorption barriers properties of typical granitoids from Nizhnekanskiy rock massif are presented in this paper. (author)
