Abstract: | The bentonite-sand buffer material, which isolates the nuclear-fuel waste containers from the host rock mass, is a vital component of the multiple engineered barrier scheme advocated by the Canadian Nuclear Fuel Waste Management Program. This paper presents results of laboratory investigations which examine the influence of the container surface temperatures on the moisture migration within a compacted buffer in a borehole environment. |
