Abstract
The life-time of vitrified high level waste (HLW-glass) in geological disposal conditions in Boom Clay was estimated. The main experimental variables were glass composition, environmental materials, temperature, and test duration. The dissolution tests showed that, although the presence of Boom Clay initially increases the glass dissolution rate, the long-term dissolution rate decreases for diluted clay/clay water slurries.
