Extract

It is the aim of the present poster to show two approaches for assessing the influence of the alkaline degradation of cellulose on the sorption of tri- and tetravalent radionuclides. The two approaches differ in their degree of conservativity, one is a conservative, the other a realistic model case. The result of both examinations is expressed in terms of sorption reduction factors, valid for a situation where cellulose degradation products are influencing the sorption of radionuclides on cement.
