Abstract:Cement-based materials are integral to radioactive waste repositories, providing versatile solutions for diverse disposal strategies. They are part of the multi-barrier system, and serve to immobilize waste materials, limit the release of radionuclides, contribute to an alkaline near-field to inhibit steel corrosion, reduce microbial activity, and slow down radionuclide transport in the repository near-field. This work delves into the adaptability of the multi-barrier systems for long-term safety, examining ca… Show more
