NEUP CINR-25-34454: Multiscale assessment of claystone suitability for subsurface nuclear waste disposal

The goal of this project is identifying the properties of clay-rich formations available across the United States to determine whether they could serve as hosts for high-level radioactive waste disposal, as well as building constitutive and numerical models (including neural networks) for predictions of their behavior.
