The SNL EBS International activities were focused on two main collaborative efforts for FY19 — 1) Developing analytical tools to study and better understand multi-phase flow and coupled process physics in engineered barrier materials and at the interface between EBS materials and host media, and 2) Benchmarking of reactive transport codes (including PFLOTRAN) used for chemical evolution of cementitious EBS components. Topic 1 is being studied as part of the SKB EBS Task Force, while Topic 2 is being pursued as a collaboration with researchers from Vanderbilt University and NRG in the the Netherlands.
