For performance assessment analysis of a high-level waste and spent fuel disposal in a geological formation, retention data are needed. In most cases, retention data are derived from batch sorption...
Liu, De-jun, Bruggeman, Christophe, Maes, Norbert
The influence of natural organic matter (NOM) on the speciation and solubility of europium (Eu) was studied under geochemical conditions representative for the Boom Clay. Different organic matter...
Aertsens, Marc, Van Gompel, Marc, De Cannière, Pierre, Maes, Norbert, Dierckx, A.
An important question for the performance assessment of a potential geological waste disposal site for radioactive waste in Boom Clay is: can the Boom Clay be considered as a homogeneous clay layer...
Modelling transport of 14C-labelled Natural Organic Matter (NOM) in Boom Clay (2008)
Ionescu, A., Maes, Norbert, Mallants, Dirk
In Belgium, the Boom Clay formation is considered to be the reference formation for HLW disposal R&D. Assessments to date have shown that the host clay layer is a very efficient barrier for the...
Bruggeman, Christophe, Salah, Sonia, Maes, Norbert, Wang, Lian, Dierckx, Ann, Ochs, M.
The present document refers to the experimental programme on sorption (or, more general, "uptake ") that is developed and adopted by SCK•CEN in the framework of the deep geological disposal...
Overview and consistency of migration experiments in clay (2008)
Aertsens, Marc, De Cannière, Pierre, Lemmens, Karel, Maes, Norbert, Moors, Hugo
An overview is given about the types of migration experiments in clay and their corresponding mathematical models aimed to determine the product R of the diffusion accessible porosity and the...
Diffusion experiments with 32Si in Boom Clay, FoCa Clay and the M2 mixture (2008)
Aertsens, Marc, Maes, Norbert, Moors, Hugo, Lemmens, Karel
The sorption behavior of Si on Boom Clay, FoCa clay and the M2 backfill mixture at 25°C has been studied at SCK·CEN by means of diffusion experiments with 32Si. This report completes the results...
Efficiency of a borehole seal by means of pre-compacted bentonite blocks (2006)
Van Geet, Maarten, Volckaert, Geert, Bastiaens, Wim, Maes, Norbert, Weetjens, Eef, Sillen, Xavier, ...
The backfilling and sealing of shafts and galleries is an essential part of the design of underground repositories for high-level radioactive waste. Part of the EC funded project RESEAL studied the...

In order to determine in how far the Boom Clay (BC) properties and alpha-activity influence the dissolution kinetics of spent fuel, static dissolution tests have been performed with 6 different types...
Maes, Norbert, Wang, Lian, Hicks, Tim, Bennett, David, Warwick, Peter, Hall, Tony, ...
The migration behaviour of Americium through Boom clay, which is rich in organic matter, has been investigated by complexing 241Am with 14C-labelled Boom Clay Natural Organic Matter (NOM) and passing...
Van Geet, Maarten, Maes, Norbert, Aertsens, Marc, Volckaert, Geert, Imbert, C., Billaud, P., ...
The RESEAL project aims at demonstrating the sealing with bentonite of a borehole and a shaft in plastic clay on a representative scale. The backfilling and sealing of shafts and galleries is an...
Engineering Geology. Special issue. Electrokinetic remediation - EREM 2003 (2005)
The governing philosophy of preservation of the environment has led worldwide to the demand for effective remediation techniques. Electrokinetic remediation is an innovative method offering a serious...
Studying the migration behaviour of selenate in Boom Clay by electromigration (2005)
Maes, Norbert, Beauwens, Thomas, De Cannière, Pierre, Moors, Hugo, Wang, Lian
For the disposal of High Level Waste (HLW) in a deep geological formation as Boom Clay, safety assessment studies have shown that long lived 79Se is one of the more critical fission products....
