The aim of this article is to highlight and conceptualize key aspects of social closures that impact the German nuclear waste management case. According to the German legislator, the public must be involved in the search for a final repository for high-level radioactive waste. De facto, however, almost the entire population of Germany is excluded. ...

Since nuclear energy is crucial in the decarbonization of the energy supply, one hurdle to remove is the handling of high-level radioactive waste (HLW). Disposal of HLW in a deep geological repository has long been deemed a viable permanent option. In the design of a deep geological repository, compacted bentonite is the most commonly proposed buff...

In the context of the safe storage of high-level radioactive waste, the time-dependent retention of a waste cocktail (WC) consisting of Zr(IV), Mo(VI), Ru(III), Pd(II), Cs(I), Sm(III), Eu(III) and U(VI) was studied on the commercially available C-S-H phase Circosil®. The herein presented results focus on Cs(I), Sm(III), Eu(III) and U(VI). Precipita...

Identification of major fractures is a common problem in underground engineering. Research on the identification and evolutionary characteristics of major fractures are mainly based on high-level waste underground repositories. In this paper, a triaxial acoustic emission (AE) experiment was carried out, and methods such as fractal theory and machin...

In the vitrification of high-level radioactive liquid waste (HLW), the separation of sodium-molybdate melts is a problem because it reduces the chemical durability of the vitrified waste. A glass with both high MoO3 solubility and chemical durability is required for the safe disposal of radioactive waste. In this study, we investigate the effects o...

This study critically appraises the Japanese government’s high-level radioactive disposal policy by drawing on three sociological perspectives: risk society, sociology of scientific knowledge, and social acceptance. The risk society theory emphasizes that the Government of Japan and scientists under its control are pursuing nuclear power policy and...

For the high level waste accumulating in the Federal Republic of Germany, according to the current prognosis spent fuel elements with a heavy metal mass of about 10,500 t, the current concept provides for an interim storage period of up to 40 years. According to current knowledge, however, the permissible storage periods will be exceeded, which req...

Due to continuous self-sealing and good mechanical properties, the Tamusu clay rock of Inner Mongolia has been identified as the pre-selected site for high-level radioactive waste geological disposal site in China. The study of chemical behaviors related to Tamusu clay rock, such as nuclide migration, will be an important content of the performance...

Voici les cinq défis que nous autres, en tant qu'ancêtres, nous devons gérer mais aussi léguer aux générations futures. Ces cinq défis sont interreliés et concernent l'ensemble des pays nucléarisés et leurs pays limitrophes. Ils renvoient à quatre questions: 1. comment prendre en considération l'histoire longue du nucléaire, 2. comment cadrer le pr...
