Abstract:
Characteristics of high-level radioactive waste transport in glass as gases were studied. A transmission electron microscope was used to observe the morphology of the substance after penetrating the high-level radioactive waste glass and the bentonite soil column, and the composition of the substance was analyzed using electron probe energy spectroscopy. The results show that the radionuclides in the high-level radioactive waste glass were transported out of the glass, the bentonite was penetrated by the geogas, and the transported substance occurred as nanometer-size particles and particle aggregates.
