Experimental approach for understanding the dynamic behaviors of bentonite buffer piping erosion

In Japan, as in other countries, bentonite-based buffer materials are expected to play roles in reducing stress from rock masses and mitigating nuclide migration in the geological disposal of high-level radioactive waste. These roles are achieved by ensuring buffer density and thickness based on the...
