Origin and composition of possible fluids in German and American high- and intermediate-level radioactive waste repositories in domal and bedded salt formations

Brush, Laurence H.

This paper justifies the need for and describes studies of brine chemistry under way for German and American high- and intermediate-level radioactive waste repositories in domal and bedded salt formation. In particular, it discusses the origin and composition of fluids that could enter these repositories and some sampling, modeling, and statistical techniques used to characterize them. 24 refs., 4 figs., 5 tabs.
