Bentonite Permeability at Elevated Temperature

Bentonite Permeability at Elevated Temperature

Repository designs frequently favour geological disposal of radioactive waste with a backfill material occupying void space around the waste. The backfill material must tolerate the high temperatures produced by decaying radioactive waste to prevent its failure or degradation, leading to increased h...
