The fate of Si and Fe while nuclear glass alters with steel and clay

Abstract The French concept developed to dispose high-level radioactive waste in geological repository relies on glassy waste forms, isolated from the claystone host rock by steel containers. Understanding interactions between glass and surrounding materials is key for assessing the performance of a...
