Abstract
In this contribution we will consider some of the characteristic effects associated with the formation of radiation damage in NaCl. This work is directly related to the problem of the disposal of high level nuclear waste. For this reason, we will discuss in particular die production of radiation damage at moderate temperatures (between 30 and 150°C). We were forced to use relatively high dose rates (between 4 and 250 Mrad/hr) in order to reach the high doses, which are accumulated under disposal conditions. The basic Jain-Lidiard model, which has been modified in our laboratory, plays an important role in the analysis of the experimental results, which have been obtained to date. With this model we are able to “translate” our experimental results to predictions for the practical situation of disposal of radioactive waste in rock salt.
