Extract

Groundwater circulation is in the long term probably the most important mechanism for the transport of radionuclides from deep underground repositories to the biosphere. The fate of leached long-lived nuclides, such as the actinides, is of particular interest to repository safety analysis. Both experimental and theoretical studies should lead to a comprehensive description of their behaviour in the geosphere.
