Scientific basis for nuclear waste management VII. Volume 26
This volume is a compilation of 122 papers presented at a 1983 symposium that emphasized high-level radioactive waste disposal investigations. This is a valuable collection of scientific and engineering studies and program summaries made by field and laboratory geoscientists, materials engineers, and their managers. The book will be of interest especially to geologists, hydrologists, geochemists, materials scientists and engineers, and numerical modelers concerned with rock/mineral/glass-ground-water radionuclide-thermal interactions in natural settings and simulations for time periods of thousands of years. Worldwide site investigations discussed in this volume concentrate on basalt (Columbia River basalt in Washington), tuff (ash-flow tuff in southern Nevada), bedded salt (New Mexico, Texas, Utah), domal salt (Mississippi, Germany), and granitic rocks (throughout the US, Sweden). This compendium provides readers the flavor of advances in the understanding of groundwater flow and radionuclide transport in deep geologic settings, of waste package corrosion, and of the effects that certain combinations of water-rock characteristics and processes might have on an underground waste repository. It is also valuable as a source book of data and references related to high-level radioactive waste disposal in underground repositories.
