Modeling the impact of climate change in Germany with biosphere models for long-term safety assessment of nuclear waste repositories

Mild hydrothermal crystal growth of new uranium(IV) fluorides, Na3.13Mg1.43U6F30 and Na2.50Mn1.75U6F30: Structures, optical and magnetic properties

“…Materials containing uranium continue to be investigated because of their remarkable coordination chemistry [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] and important societal challenges, such as long-term nuclear waste storage [10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. Uranium can possess various oxidation states ranging from +3 to +6, among which tetra-and hexavalent species are more common.…”

Requirement of the assessment strategy for biosphere in mature safety cases for nuclear waste repositories – Finland case

“…The same applies also to replacing change in time with change in spatial location (e.g. Staudt et al, 2013;Becker et al, 2014) when justifying the models and data for environmental and climatic changes over very long time frames. In the reality of the assessment work, use of natural analogues and data on analogous nuclides, organisms and other entities is a necessity but without a credible justification, the validity of such inputs and thus also the overall results could be easily contested.…”
