A thermo-hydro-mechanical stress-strain framework for modelling the performance of clay barriers in deep geological repositories for radioactive waste

ABSTRACT

In all nuclear power generating countries, spent nuclear fuel and long-lived radioactive waste management is an important environmental issue. Disposal in deep clay geological formations is a promising option to dispose of these wastes.
