The Development of Clay Barriers for Radioactive Waste Disposal at the Centre of Experimental Geotechnics
Original language description
Research related to the construction of a deep repository for radioactive waste has been underway in the Czech Republic for many years. The main aim of the repository disposal system is to prevent the migration of radionuclides into the biosphere. The natural rock barrier as well as the engineered barrier elements of the system should guarantee the safe disposal of radioactive waste in the order of hundreds of thousands of years. The Centre of Experimental Geotechnics (CEG), Faculty of Civil Engineering, Czech Technical University in Prague has, for several years, been closely involved in the research and development of engineered barriers containing clay materials. Bentonite clay, which has excellent sealing properties, has proven to be particularly suitable in this respect. It is proposed that bentonite will be used in the vicinity of the stored container housing the spent nuclear fuel as well as to fill the access tunnels leading to the disposal chambers. Each of these uses has diff
