Abstract:An important dement of the engineered-barriers system used for burying radioactive wastes is the container in which the wastes are placed in solid or solidified form. The construction of the containers and the materials from which they are made can differ substantially. When choosing and developing a new construction, container types must be compared with one another according to their capability to retain radionuclides. For underground storage or burial of wastes radionuclides escape primarily by diffusion in… Show more
