    Abstract : It is accepted worldwide that the best final solution for spent nuclear fuel is to bury it in deep geological repositories. Despite the physical and chemical barriers that are supposed to isolate the nuclear waste for at least 100.000 years, some uncertainty factors may cause underground water to get in contact with the nuclear waste.

  2. 2. A surface approach to understanding the dissolution of fluorite type materials : Implications for mineral dissolution kinetic models

    Author : José Ricardo Assunção Godinho; Sandra Piazolo; Andreas Lüttge; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; dissolution; topography; fluorite; surface; geokemi; Geochemistry;

    Abstract : Traditional dissolution models are based in the analyses of bulk solution compositions and ignore the fact that different sites of a surface dissolve at different rates. Consequently, the variation of surface area and surface reactivity during dissolution are not considered for the calculation of the overall dissolution rate, which is expected to remain constant with time.
