Abstract
The long-term performance of a cement-based barrier system, envisaged worldwide in many concepts for deep geological storage of radioactive waste, depends on its material properties and how they evolve with time. Chemical interactions with the service environment may lead to mineralogical alterations and related physico-chemical changes at material interfaces, influencing radionuclide migration. Predictive (reactive) transport modelling therefore requires information on transport properties (e.g. sorption properties, porosity) of aged cement matrices.
