Abstract
The design of an industrial facility for storage of radioactive wastes in geological environment is an important issue taken into account in the French nuclear energy sector. In this context the cementitious materials are an important (packages, structures).
The main objective of the proposed study is to characterize alterations of the materials in the concrete-clay interfaces, caused by chemical exchanges. At the current stage, a comprehensive approach was initiated taking into account simultaneously the chemistry of the storage site and concrete considered for this application, based on commercial cements or innovative binders (low pH) formulated specifically. On these low pH materials in particular, questions remain as to their mineralogical and microstructural evolution. An experimental program (dedicated testing, microscopic characterization), supplemented by digital simulations, will increase the essential knowledge for use of these materials.
This project will involve both of the specialists of cementitious materials of the CEA, and researchers at the laboratory Hydrasa of the University of Poitiers.
