NEUP CINRII-25-34165: Calcium phosphates as an Effective Add-on to Backfill Materials: Permanent immobilization of iodine and uranium by bentonite/phosphate mineral mixtures.

The aim of this proposal is to advance the functionality of the EBS by providing quantified information on sorption of radionuclides (I and U) by bentonite/phosphate mineral mixtures (a potential backfill). This is the next step (Phase II) in solving radionuclides attenuation problem through the EBS improvement, where we will use the data on I and U uptake by phosphates obtained in the Phase I, to study I and U retention by modified EBS by conducting batch and column experiments.
