Research and development related to the Nevada nuclear waste storage investigations
Abstract
Storages of radioactive wastes in tuff was studied. Adsorption experments were conducted with Sr85, Tc95, Cs137, Ba 133, and Eu152. The geochemistry and mineralogy-petrology of tuff were studied. Organic and inorganic Eh (standard oxidation-reduction potential) buffers were investigated. Rock physics studies were also conducted.
