NEUP CINR-18-15459: Reduced diffusion and enhanced retention of multiple radionuclides from pore structure studies of barrier materials for enhanced repository performance

The project will understand and quantify the pore structure and its emergent effect on diffusion and retention of various radionuclides in barrier materials to accurately evaluate the performance of geological repository, with complementary approaches including small-angle neutron scattering as well as micron-scale and multiple-tracer analysis technique of laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry.
