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

Impact of dry density, saturation, and confinement on gas permeability of clay-barrier materials [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2020 The safe isolation of high-level radioactive waste from the human environment is a key requisite in the nuclear fuel cycle. Deep geological repositories (i.e. >500m) in a suitable rock mass, involving both engineered and natural barriers is currently the

Systems study on engineered barriers: barrier performance analysis [PDF]
, 1980 A performance assessment model for multiple barrier packages containing unreprocessed spent fuel has been modified and applied to several package designs. The objective of the study was to develop information to be used in programmatic decision making concerning engineered barrier package design and development.

REPOSITORY ENGINEERED BARRIER SYSTEM DESIGN [PDF]
, 1998 A Viability Assessment (VA) for the Yucca Mountain Project is being completed for delivery in September of 1998. A major element of the VA is the design of a high level waste repository on the Nevada Test Site. The repository is made up of surface and subsurface facilities. The engineered barrier includes the man-made elements of the system that act to
