Extract

A detailed knowledge of the geochemical environment of a site for the disposal of radioactive waste is of fundamental importance. To evaluate the migration behaviour of radionuclides in geological media a series of data are needed, amongst others a number of physico-chemical properties of the media, such as permeability, porosity, dispersion-, diffusion-, and sorption characteristics. In this connection liquid chromatography appears to be advantageous as a facile experimental technique to obtain relevant data for these physico-chemical properties.
