Thermodynamic data are an essential input for relevance of geochemical modeling and
more particularly to assess the behavior of radionuclides and other pollutants in the …

Of the sugar carboxylates, D-gluconate is clearly the most significant representative: the
world's annual production of this organic compound is estimated to be in the order of 10 5 …

Decades of nuclear activities have left a legacy of hazardous radioactive waste, which must
be isolated from the biosphere for over 100,000 years. The preferred option for safe waste …

The application of traditional construction materials, such as lime binders containing organic
additives, has attracted a great deal of attention in recent years for the sustainable …

Intermediate-level radioactive waste (ILW), which dominates the radioactive waste inventory
in the United Kingdom on a volumetric basis, is proposed to be disposed of via a multibarrier …

The uptake of niobium by hardened cement paste (HCP) and calcium silicate hydrate (CSH)
phases was investigated with 93 Nb and 95 Nb (t 1/2= 35.0 days). Structural materials used …

Abstract The isotope 94 Nb (t 1/2= 2.04∙ 10 4 a) is produced during the operation of nuclear
reactors due to the neutron activation of 93 Nb present in reactor vessels. Related waste …

The uptake of chloride and ISA by cement in the degradation stage I was investigated with a
combination of sorption experiments and MD simulations. The retention of 36 Cl decreases …

The sufficient retardation of radionuclide release by sorption is a central issue in assessing
the safety of radioactive waste disposal systems and risks posed by contaminated sites …

Uptake of plutonium by Portland cement in degradation stage II was investigated in the
presence of α-D-isosaccharinic acid (ISA) under reducing conditions set by hydroquinone …
