    Abstract

    Sorption results obtained with Boom clay for Am, Pu, Eu, Tc and Np under near in-situ conditions are presented, and the significance of Kd values in Boom clay is discussed. Clay humic acids are shown to be a controlling factor in the sorption of Am, Eu, Np. Results with Tc and Pu are different and need further examination. Experiments to determine the mobility of light molecular weight organic material in compacted Boom clay is discussed.
