The role of accessory minerals in inhibiting bentonite erosion in the geological disposal of higher activity radioactive waste

The chemical erosion of bentonite buffer material, during periods of glaciation, is a point of concern in the approval of safety cases for disposal of radioactive waste in crystalline rock. Currently, quantitative mass loss assessments are based on a 100% montmorillonite buffer and lead to unaccepta...
