Rock alteration at high pH relevant to the geological disposal of radioactive waste

Dissolution of the cement used in radioactive waste repositories will produce a high pH leachate (pH 10.5-13.1) that will evolve in pH and composition over time, remaining hyperalkaline for 106 years. This will migrate into the repository host rock potentially altering the rock’s physical and chemic...
