Short summary
For 25 years, the rock laboratory at Mont Terri (Switzerland) has been playing an important role in the feasibility and safety studies of deep geologic radioactive waste repositories in clay formations. For the last 12 years, the Bitumen–Nitrate–Clay experiment has been running in situ experiments in this lab. This experiment addresses questions concerning the effect of biogeochemical perturbations of the clay by nitrate from radioactive waste on the migration of redox-sensitive radionuclides.
