Investigation of the various properties of several candidate additives as buffer materials

open access: yesNuclear Engineering and Technology, 2023
Bentonite buffer material is a critical component in an engineered barrier system (EBS) for disposing high-level radioactive waste (HLW). The bentonite buffer material protects the disposal canister from groundwater penetration and releases decay heat to

On the Disposal of Disposables [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of the Royal Army Medical Corps, 1966
for disposing of disposables. The importance of this depends on the volume used. In the United States of America, where disposables are being used on a vast scale, the question of disposal has already become the major problem facing the users. In the U.K. the use of disposables has not yet reached this magnitude, but cannot be far off.
