Based on the example of 129I, the study evaluates the influence of space and time dispersion of radionuclide transport and processes mentioned above on the long-term DGR safety. It demonstrates that these effects can cause significant radionuclide retention, nevertheless having minor impact on the long-term DGR safety as regards low sorbing nuclides with their half-lives amounting to over hundreds of thousand years. The paper also considers the opportunities for enhancing the GDF safety considering such radionuclides.","PeriodicalId":15963,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hazardous, Toxic, and Radioactive Waste","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82954122","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
