A deep geological repository is the most sustainable way to dispose of high-level radioactive
waste. It consists of a multi-barrier system with waste containing canister, sealing material …

The montmorillonite@ carbon (MMT@ C) composite was synthesized by the one-step
hydrothermal carbonization process. U (VI) sorption on MMT@ C from aqueous solution was …

The Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Company (SKB) has recently worked out a concept,
KBS-3V, for disposal of highly radioactive waste in the form of spent reactor fuel, and asked …

In the present study, a new type of montmorillonite/carbon (MMT/C) adsorbent has been
prepared by a one-pot hydrothermal carbonization process. The MMT/C composite was …

The depth and layout of a horizontal borehole repository has the potential to offer strong
isolation of nuclear waste from the surface. However, the isolation may be compromised by …

High-level radioactive waste is heat-emitting; the temperature can increase up to 100° C in
the gallery, and thus increase the density of microcracks in the host rock of argillite. In the …

Little is known on the interaction of graphene oxide (GO) with layered clay mineral and its
effects on the U (VI) retention properties of layered clay mineral. In this study, the interaction …

Two basically different concepts for disposal of highly radioactive waste are the often cited
KBS-3 method and a concept termed VDH (Very Deep Boreholes). So far, the deep hole …

Chemical degradation of borosilicate glass doped with 238Pu was modelled in conditions of
a failed underground radwaste repository in granite host rock with bentonite buffer material …
