Investigating electrical resistivity of highly compacted bentonite as a monitoring option for nuclear waste repositories
Bentonite clay is an essential component of the engineered barrier systems required around nuclear waste bundles in a deep geological repository (DGR). The bentonite is subject to both thermal and hydraulic gradients which may cause failure of the barrier system compromising the stability of the dee...
