Description
Spent fuel and high-level waste will be emplaced in the same repository as ILW and each waste form may, in principle, influence the evolution of the other. Of particular concern is the possibility that cement water may adversely affect bentonite. The distance and the presence of seals between SF/HLW on one hand and ILW on the other hand is expected to prevent significant interactions.
