Description
An increase of salinity in the groundwater may decrease the sorption constant of some radioelements on the clay, in particular of those sorbing via the cation exchange mechanism (e.g. Cs). Such an increase of salinity in the future is ruled out based on the regional hydrogeological and hydrochemical situation.
