Abstract
The aim of this study is to characterize plutonium sorption particularly 239Pu distribution coefficients and the influence of pH on sorption processes in saturated geological materials used as a radioactive waste repository in China. The examined geological media is from a southwestern Chinese repository and consists of soil and slates. The backfill material consists of Na-bentonite from Inner Mongolia Gaomiaozi, and will be used at the Beishan high-level waste (HLW) repository, Gansu Province. The results show that the sorption capacity of Pu by geological medium in an acidic environment is low, but significantly increases with increasing pH.
