Grouting of the rock surrounding high-level waste (HLW) can serve to minimize groundwater
flow around it and thereby to retard erosion of waste-embedding clay (buffer) and transport …

Coal mine methane (CMM) drainage is an important method to curb the occurrence of gas
disasters and to reduce the amount of greenhouse gas emission, and to make full use of the …

Multibarrier concepts are commonly proposed for effective isolation of highly radioactive
waste (HLW). Present concepts consider the host rock as a barrier by retarding migration of …

This study reports the characterization of a talc from Cameroon as a possible source
material for cement formulation. To that end, the talc sample was characterized and mixed …

The paper describes assessment of the performance of cement-poor concretes on the basis
of packing theory. The concretes are intended for sealing segments of deep boreholes and …

Geologic Disposal of High-Level Radioactive Waste examines the fundamental knowledge
and conditions to be considered and applied by planners and other professionals when …

Deep, investigation boreholes for suitable location of radioactive repositories and holes with
larger diameter for storing such waste at great depth must be effectively isolated from the …

In the very deep borehole (VDH) concept for high level radioactive waste disposal, the
