In recent years, the complexity of geomechanical problems has greatly increased as a result of the demand for new and intricate types of applications. Experimental characterization and numerical prediction by means of multiphysical approaches are in that c ...
A proper evaluation of the perturbations of the host rock induced by the excavation and the emplacement of exothermic wastes is essential for the assessment of the long-term safety of high-level radioactive waste disposals in clay formations. The impact of ...
A room temperature ionic liquid (IL) composed of a quaternary alkylphosphonium (trihexyltetradecylphosphonium, P66614(+)) and tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl) borate anion (TB) was employed within a water| P66614TB (w|P66614TB or w|IL) biphasic system to evalua ...
The interactions of trivalent lanthanides and actinides with secondary mineral phases such as calcite is of high importance for the safety assessment of deep geological repositories for high level nuclear waste (HLW). Due to similar ionic radii, calcium-be ...
Deep geological repository involving a multi-barrier system constitutes one of the most promising options for isolating high-level radioactive waste from the human environment. In order to certify the efficiency of waste isolation it is essential to unders ...
Decomposition into higher species: Intramolecular UIII-mediated homolytic C-O bond cleavage in UIII (alkoxy)siloxy complexes at low temperature and subsequent reduction with KC8 led to unprecedented polymetallic complexes containing siloxy, silanediolate, ...
In order to meet the steadily increasing worldwide energy demand, nuclear power is expected to continue playing a key role in electricity production. Currently, the large majority of nuclear power plants are operated with thermal-neutron spectra and need r ...
A BaCO3 slurry, containing radioactive C-14, is produced during the reprocessing of spent nuclear fuel. This slurry is encapsulated in a Portland-blastfurnace slag composite cement. The effect of BaCO3 on the hydration of OPC and Portland-blastfurnace slag ...
