Diffusion of gases in partially saturated clay - based materials KU Leuven
In many countries in Europe, clay-based materials are considered for safe disposal of high and intermediate level radioactive waste, either as an important component in the the engineered barrier system, or as geological formation to host the repository. Furthermore clays under consideration all have high sorption capacity for many radionuclides (Altmann et al., 2012; Maes et al., 2008; Maes et al., 2004), low hydraulic conductivity (Enssle ...
