The impact of hyper-alkaline fluids from a geological radioactive waste repository on the biological and physical characteristics of the host rock environment

The UK's intermediate level radioactive waste (ILW) will be disposed of in a deep geological disposal facility (GDF), with extensive use of cementitious materials. Re-saturation of the GDF will generate a hyper-alkaline plume, which will migrate into the host rock, forming an alkali-disturbed z...
