Characteristics and Rates of Microbial Processes in Clays of Different Mineral and Elemental Composition in Relation to Safety Prediction for ESB Clay Materials

Characteristics and Rates of Microbial Processes in Clays of Different Mineral and Elemental Composition in Relation to Safety Prediction for ESB Clay Materials

Microbial activity in clay barrier materials during radioactive waste disposal can lead to a violation of important physicochemical properties of the barrier system as a whole, thereby reducing the safety of the storage facility. This work evaluates the activity of the microbial complex of five bent...
