Transport of Actinides Through a Bentonite Backfill
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 February 2011
Extract
Compacted bentonite has been proposed as a suitable backfill material in the Swedish concept for underground storage of high-level waste. The backfill barrier will serve both as a physical barrier, preventing convective water flow and allowing radionuclide penetration only by diffusion, and as a chemical barrier capable of chemically interacting with the radionuclides.
