Thermochemical Database (TDB) Project

Phase II

The purpose of the Thermochemical Database (TDB) project is to to make available a comprehensive, internally consistent, internationally recognised and quality-assured chemical thermodynamic database of selected chemical elements. This database should meet the specialised modelling requirements for safety assessments of radioactive waste disposal systems.
