Abstract

The chemical evolution of a clay engineered barrier in a deep repository interacting with various groundwaters is predicted using the TRIO-EF code supported by additional models tested against experimental data. Main results of this work are related to the long term evolution of the porewater and the buffering effect of the clay barrier in the presence of ion exchange sites and calcite, when exposed to representative granitic groundwaters or more acidic or alkaline waters.
