“…The interlayer was found to also expose hosting sites for radionuclide uptake. The uptake potential of C-S-H phases has been studied for several radionuclides, such as Zn(II) (Ziegler et al, 2001), U(VI) (Harfouche et al, 2006;Tits et al, 2011), Eu(III) (Pointeau et al, 2001;Schlegel et al, 2004), Sr(II) (Tits et al, 2006a), Ra(II) (Lange et al, 2018;Olmeda et al, 2019;Tits et al, 2006b), Np(IV) (Gaona et al, 2011;Tits et al, 2014), and Nd(III) (Mandaliev et al, 2010a;Mandaliev et al, 2010b).…”

Computational modeling is an important aspect of the research on nuclear waste materials. In particular, atomistic simulations, when used complementary to experimental efforts, contribute to the scientific basis of safety case for nuclear waste repositories. Here we discuss the state-of-the-art and perspectives of atomistic modeling for nuclear waste management on a few cases of successful synergy of atomistic simulations and experiments. In particular, we discuss here: (1) the potential of atomistic simulations to investigate the uranium oxidation state in mixed-valence uranium oxides and (2) the ability of cementitious barrier materials to retain radionuclides such as 226Ra and 90Sr, and of studtite/metastudtite secondary peroxide phases to incorporate actinides such as Np and Am. The new contribution we make here is the computation of the incorporation of Sr by C-S-H (calcium silicate hydrate) phases.

A comparative study of the sorption behavior of europium, a chemical analogue of trivalent actinides, and uranium was performed on hydrated cement paste (HCP) CEM I and calcium-silicate-hydrates (CSH) phase. Kinetic experiments proved that Eu sorption is faster than that of U depending on the phase ratio L/S and the sorption material, whereas EDTA has no significant effect. Same conclusions can be made for equilibrium experiments with HCP and U while with Eu EDTA clearly influenced the distribution ratio Rd with sorption reduction factor (SRF) below 0.5. Uranium sorption on CSH compared to HCP is higher with SRF above 1.2.
