Compacted bentonite and a bentonite–sand mixture have been considered as a potential buffer material for nuclear waste stored underground. The effects of dry density, water content and sand fraction on the thermal conductivity of the mixtures ...
This report is a comprehensive compilation of a variety of studies performed on rock in a borehole at a potential nuclear waste storage facility in Sweden. Density, water absorption, mineral composition and thermal properties were studied to determine the site's suitability as a safe storage ...
