NEUP CINR-23-29064: Validation of Geochemical Reactive Transport Long-Term predictions Using Natural Cements and Ancient Cements Analogues

This project will i) validate long-term performance predictions of rock/cement interfaces based on characterization of natural analogues, ancient cements and interfaces with rock formations, and ii) demonstrate applicability of the established testing and simulation workflow with argillite rock representative of potential U.S. repository systems. This addresses the research gap of long-term validation and uncertainty assessment associated with cement barrier performance and multi-physics models.
