The RWDRG focuses to the supporting final disposal of radioactive waste involving physico-chemical-geological investigation of natural barriers and optimization of multi-step engineered barriers.

  • Evaluation of host rocks selected for final disposal of high level and long-lived radioactive waste with respect to retardation of radionuclides present in anionic and cationic form.
  • Development and structural analysis of new matrices for the immobilization of radioactive wastes.
  • Analytical method developments to determine the chemical durability of new immobilization matrices including glasses & cement.
  • Corrosion study of metal containers applied as part of engineered barrier system for different surfaces (glass& steel/copper & concrete/bentonite/clay) and experimental conditions.

The RWDRG is devoted to support the research program of Public Limited Company for Radioactive Waste Management (PURAM) on a deep geological repository for high and intermediate level long lived radioactive wastes and on near surface repository for low-level wastes.
