Description
The long term dissolution rate of the glass depends on its composition (BNFL or COGEMA glass), temperature and solution composition (in particular pH and Si concentration). It is derived from lab experiments. The rate may be influenced by clays (bentonite) and iron corrosion products (see also 2.1/2.09).
