Modeling Geochemical Stability of Cement Formulations for use as Shaft Liner and Sealing Components at Yucca Mountain(1)
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 28 February 2011
Abstract
The geochemical modeling codes EQ3NR/EQ6 were used to model the interaction of cementitious materials with ground water from the Yucca Mountain proposed nuclear waste repository site in Nevada. This paper presents a preliminary estimate of the compositional changes caused by these interactions in the ground water and in the cement-based compounds proposed for use as sealing and shaft liner materials at the Yucca Mountain site.
