Editorial on Influence of Interfaces on Gas Breakthrough Pressure in Compacted Bentonite Used as a Hazardous Waste Disposal Barrier

摘要

In a deep geological nuclear waste repository fueloline may be generated via way of means of exclusive techniques. Understanding the fueloline delivery mechanisms throughout the engineered and herbal limitations in a repository is applicable for its safety assessment, each in phrases of mechanical balance and of radionuclide delivery. The engineered barrier can be composed of compacted blocks of bentonite and the interfaces among those blocks would possibly evolve into preferential fluid pathways, especially for the fueloline generated across the waste canisters.
