IAEA COORDINATED RESEARCH PROJECT (CRP): The use of selected safety indicators (concentrations; fluxes) in the assessment of radioactive waste disposal. Report 6: Site-specific natural geochemical concentrations and fluxes at the Palmottu U-Th mineralisation (Finland) for use as indicators of nuc... (original) (raw)
Research activities at the Palmottu U-Th mineralisation in Finland focused on enhancing understanding of groundwater chemistry and geochemical concentrations relevant to radioactive waste disposal. The study provided significant insights into the local geochemical behavior of uranium, indicating a long history of reducing conditions that have largely limited uranium dispersion. Key findings highlight the importance of natural safety indicators for performance assessments of radioactive waste repositories, emphasizing the need for ongoing research to integrate these data into future safety cases.
