Abstract

In underground nuclear waste disposal sites, bentonite clay is used as backfills or plugs to stop water leakage and ensure low permeability and nuclide adsorption. In this study, a new material (BENTBALL) developed by Kobe Steel to solve the problems which traditional bentonite has used in the execution is evaluated.
