One of the principal objections to or problems with the use of
nuclear fuel is that a proven method for safe disposal of spent
nuclear fuel has yet to be established. The central focus of most
schemes underway to dispose of these high-level radioactive wastes
relies on clay-based buffers and barriers to isolate spent fuel
canisters in boreholes deep underground in specially constructed
tunnels and caverns. Current thought on the principal methods of
containment of high-level radioactive wastes is presented in this
book. The authors proceed to discuss the processes and mechanisms
involved in the development of long term properties and performance
of clay-based buffers and backfills. The procedures and
methodologies used to undertake predictions and performance
assessments of these materials are also examined. This is an
invaluable reference for professionals, researchers, academics and
regulators engaged in the development of radioactive waste sites.
