Short summary
In the context of the safety of a nuclear waste repository, we have investigated the uranium(VI) reduction by different microbial strains from deep geological layers. The results showed significant differences between the reduction behavior of sulfate- and iron-reducing bacteria. The investigated sulfate-reducing microorganism showed a speciation-dependent uranium(VI) reduction. In contrast, the iron reducer was able to reduce different uranium(VI) complexes and showed an uptake of uranium.

THEREDA represents a web-based system of programs enabling access to thermodynamic reference data for the needs of the final disposal of radioactive waste in Germany. It is the only polythermal database worldwide that covers the entire system of oceanic salts, including acids, bases and carbonates. THEREDA aims at calculation of solubilities in high-saline solutions and uses the Pitzer approach.

The immobilization of trivalent actinides (Am, Cm) and their less toxic homologue (Eu) in feldspar, a very common mineral in our earth crust, was studied by sorption experiments and spectroscopic studies. The speciation was identified and used to gain thermodynamic parameters to develop a surface complexation model. To sum up, feldspar, a main component of crystalline rock, is suitable for retaining radionuclides in a deep radioactive waste repository.

Short summary
Short summary
The present contribution provides an overview on the collaborative project iCROSS and reports selected results. The impact of considering complex coupled processes in repository subsystems for the assessment of the integrity of a given (generic) repository arrangement will be discussed. The interdisciplinary team combines experimental work in the lab, in the underground rock laboratory and environmental simulations in order to achieve process understanding across variable scales.
