Response of Compacted Bentonites to Thermal and Thermo-Hydraulic Loadings at High Temperatures
The final disposal of high-level nuclear waste in many countries is preferred to be in deep geological repositories. Compacted bentonites are proposed for use as the buffer surrounding the waste canisters which may be subjected to both thermal and hydraulic loadings. A significant increase in the te...
