Bentonite as an engineered barrier material for nuclear waste repository - Geotechnical perspectives, key properties, knowledge gaps, and opportunities

The deep geological repository is a widely recognized solution for isolating high-level radioactive waste (HLW). Bentonite, with its low hydraulic permeability, high swelling property, and strong sorption capacity, serves as a key engineered barrier material to prevent radioactive leakage. While ext...
