Interaction of Ions with Hydrated Clay Surfaces: Computational Molecular Modeling for Nuclear Waste Disposal Applications

Nuclear waste disposal.

-Experiments are described in which dose-response data have been obtained for EMT6 mouse tumour cells growing in vivo and exposed to various cytotoxic agents. A comparison has been made of the response of solid tumours in the flank and of rapidly growing lung nodules. The results are discussed with regard to their cell kinetic implications and compared with our results for the chemosensitivity ...

Reliability of Risk Assessments for Geological Disposal of Nuclear Waste

FOR GEOLOGICAL DISPOSAL OF NUCLEAR WASTE Some aspects regarding the reliability of risk assessments for geological disposal of nuclear waste are investigated. The input for the study is given by the opinions of some interviewed Dutch experts and existing literature. The Dutch risk assessment PROSA is used as an example, but the conclusions are seen to be valid more generally. In the PROSA study...
