Evaluation on the buffer temperature by thermal conductivity of gap-filling material in a high-level radioactive waste repository

As high-level radioactive waste (HLW) generated from nuclear power plants is harmful to the human body, it must be safely disposed of by an engineered barrier system consisting of disposal canisters and buffer and backfill materials. A gap exists between the canister and buffer material in a HLW rep...
