CX-018583: Multiphysics Degradation Process, and their Mitigation, in Engineered and Geological Barriers: Experiments and Simulation - Duke University

Duke University, in collaboration with Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and University of Montpellier, France, proposes to fill the gaps in understanding of mechanisms of a series of degradation processes potentially affecting geo-materials involved in nuclear waste disposal, including buffers, seals, backfills, as well as host rock intended to isolate the waste.
