- Title
Challenges in the Long-Term Behaviour of Highly Radioactive Materials.
- Authors
Ojovan, Michael I.
- Abstract
Highly radioactive materials are at the core in many useful applications ranging from operating nuclear reactors (including fast breeder reactors) to vitrified high-level radioactive waste, which is currently stored and awaiting final disposal into dedicated facilities within deep geological formations. Indeed, the nuclear waste shall withstand immobilised in a geological repository for many millennia if not much longer, depending on the content of long-lived radionuclides [[1]]. The effect of self-irradiation has especially emerged in nuclear waste immobilisation with the importance of predictable long-term behaviour of materials which extends for time periods, exceeding many hundred and thousand years.
