Heat-Generating Nuclear Waste in Salt: Field Testing and Simulation

Investigations relating to in-drift disposal of heat-generating nuclear waste in salt have raised questions about heat–brine interactions in the unsaturated run-of-mine (RoM) salt pile used as backfill. These interactions have the potential to change the structure of the RoM salt surrounding the can...
