Description

The concentration of many radionuclides in aqueous solution adjacent to the glass will be limited by the solubilities of radionuclide-bearing solids formed by the interaction of glass and bentonite pore fluid containing complexants. In addition, radionuclides may be sorbed or co-precipitated with these secondary glass phases and iron corrosion products. The solubility limits are determined for a porewater conditioned by the presence of bentonite and iron corrosion products.
