Description
The limited dimension of cracks in the glass blocks is expected to lead to a resistance to radionuclide (and silica) diffusion/transport. The process has been discussed for spent fuel in SKB-91; the effectiveness depends on other resistances in the system. This is conservatively neglected in Project Entsorgungsnachweis safety assessment modelling.
