Abstract

SUGAR (Simplified Understading of Glass And environment Reactions) is a one dimensional (lD) reactive transport code which sequentially couples dissolved chemical species transport and sorption with, chemical speciation, mineral precipitation and kinetic controlled glass dissolution. SUGAR also has the capability to model radioactive decay and steel corrosion. This paper describes the computer model and presents results of model testing against experimental data. The capabilities of the model are demonstrated by a preliminary investigation of the geochemical evolution of glass in crystalline rock formations.
