title = "Chemical interactions in the near-field of a repository for spent nuclear fuel - A modelling study.",
abstract = "The near-field chemistry of the repository for spent nuclear fuel arising from interactions between the groundwater, compacted bentonite clay, canister and the spent fuel was calculated using a three-successive-closed-systems approach. The calculations were performed for fresh granitic and saline groundwaters using the thermodynamic computer codes, HYDRAQL/CE and EQ3/6. The effects of water chemistry inside the canister as well as water radiolysis on fuel dissolution were taken into consideration. The groundwater and the three barriers of the near-field were accounted for by this approach, with particular emphasis given to the pH, Eh and actinide solubilities.",
