Subjects: Radioactive waste disposal Risk assessment Congresses.; Radioactive waste disposal in the ground Risk assessment Congresses.
Abstract: "Sorption is one of the key processes retarding the transport of radionuclides from an underground disposal facility to the biosphere and to man. These proceedings evaluate the way sorption processes are incorporated in long-term safety analyses of radioactive waste repositories."--Publisher summary.
