Ian Crossland presents a talk on radioactive waste disposal.
Disposal of long-lived radioactive waste aims to provide containment for as
long as the waste remains hazardous, which can mean hundreds of thousands of
years. Assurance of long-term safety largely comes from "natural analogues"
that are used to support computer models by providing long term data.
Perhaps the most famous analogues are the Oklo natural reactors in Gabon but
many others have been studied over the past 30 years relating to such issues
as long-term degradation of concrete, metal corrosion, sealing properties of
clay and so on. The lecture will describe some recent studies.
