Linear thermal expansion behavior of compacted bentonite buffer materials

In a geological repository system, buffer is indispensable to ensure the safe disposal of high-level radioactive waste (HLW). Because heat generated from spent nuclear fuel in a canister is released to the surrounding buffers, thermal properties of such materials are fundamental in determining the o...
