Scientific basis for nuclear waste management VIII. Volume 44
This book is a compilation of 117 papers presented at a symposium that emphasized the performance of radioactive waste package materials under simulated repository hydrogeochemical conditions. The volume will be of interest especially to geochemists, hydrologists, and materials scientists and engineers, and to numerical modelers of the complex flow and transport systems that have radioactive components. Advances in the understanding of leaching of glass and concrete, radiation damage to solids, and radioactive waste processing technology are emphasized and are based largely on lab experiments and simulations. Geologists, geochemists, and hydrologists will find the papers bearing on aspects of basalt, tuff, and salt a useful adjunct to book VII.
