Abstract:In deep geological repositories for nuclear waste, the surrounding rock formation serves as an important barrier against radionuclide migration. Multiple potential host rocks contain phyllosilicates, which have shown high efficiency in radionuclide sorption. Recent experimental studies report a heterogeneous distribution of adsorbed radionuclides on nanotopographic mineral surfaces. In this study, the energetic differences of surface sorption sites available at nanotopographic structures such as steps, pits, a… Show more
