Abstract:<p>The issue of safely dealing with radioactive waste has been addressed in several countries by opting for a geological disposal solution, in which the waste material is isolated in a subsurface repository. Safety assessments of such facilities require an in-depth understanding of the environment they are constructed in. Assessments are commonly underpinned by simulations of groundwater flow and transport, using numerical models of the subsurface. Accordingly, it is imperative that the level of … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
