HLW Disposal in Japan. Geological Disposal of High-level Radioactive Waste and Geological Environment in Japan.

Shigen-to-Sozai, 2001
The geological environment has two main functions in terms of ensuring the safety of geological disposal of high-level radioactive waste. One relates to the fundamental long-term stability of the site and the other to the properties of the host rock formations and groundwaters which facilitate the emplacement of the engineered barrier system and act as

Assessing Photovoltaic Recycling Capacities and Policy Gaps in the European Union

Advanced Energy and Sustainability Research, EarlyView.
This study maps photovoltaic recycling capacity in the EU and key global regions, highlighting gaps between growing waste volumes and available infrastructure. It combines survey insights and policy analysis to identify recycling bottlenecks and offers recommendations to boost circularity in the solar sector.

Palaeomagnetic and mineral magnetic analyses of the Deckenschotter of northern Switzerland and southern Germany

Swiss Journal of Geosciences, 2023
The Deckenschotter is a fluvial to glaciofluvial gravel unit in northern Switzerland and southern Germany. The deposits are considered the oldest preserved glacial to interglacial Quaternary deposits in the northern Alpine foreland and are thus important

The Geography of Success: A Spatial Analysis of Export Intensity in the Italian Wine Industry

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates the paradox of how Italy's fragmented, SME‐dominated wine industry achieves global export success. Moving beyond purely firm‐centric explanations, we test whether export intensity is spatially dependent, clustering geographically in regional ecosystems.

Geochemical Simulation on U Species and Their Influence Factors in Deep Groundwater from Xinchang of Beishan, Gansu

Yuanzineng kexue jishu
The rapid development of nuclear power reduced the consumption of fossil fuels, effectively reduced the environmental pollution of liquid waste, solid waste, and harmful gases, playing a crucial role in reducing carbon dioxide emissions. However, it also

When the River Runs Low: Heterogeneous Impacts of Transportation Disruptions on Local Grain Basis

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A substantial share of U.S. soybean and corn exports from the Midwest moves by barge along the Mississippi River system to export terminals in the Louisiana Gulf. Transportation costs between Midwestern grain elevators and export terminals create a wedge between prices at these locations, and shocks to these costs are partially passed on to ...

Evidence of the Generation of Isosaccharinic Acids and Their Subsequent Degradation by Local Microbial Consortia within Hyper-Alkaline Contaminated Soils, with Relevance to Intermediate Level Radioactive Waste Disposal [PDF]

, 2015
The contamination of surface environments with hydroxide rich wastes leads to the formation of high pH (>11.0) soil profiles. One such site is a legacy lime works at Harpur Hill, Derbyshire where soil profile indicated in-situ pH values up to pH 12. Soil

Developing slurries for carbon capture: From synthetic gas mixtures to flue gas

AIChE Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Deep eutectic solvent (DES)‐based systems have recently emerged as promising alternatives to conventional liquid sorbents for CO2 capture due to their tunable properties and potential for enhanced mass transfer. In this work, two DES‐based slurry systems previously developed for CO2 capture, one aqueous and one non‐aqueous, were further ...

Microstructural characterization of natural fractures and faults in the Opalinus Clay: insights from a deep drilling campaign across central northern Switzerland

Swiss Journal of Geosciences, 2023
The Middle-Jurassic Opalinus Clay is the foreseen host rock for radioactive waste disposal in central northern Switzerland. An extensive drilling campaign aiming to characterize the argillaceous formation resulted in a comprehensive drill core data set ...
