Short summary
More than a decade ago, the US Department of Energy (DOE) initiated a new research and development (R&D) program to provide a sound technical basis for geologic disposal options across clay, crystalline, and salt host rocks. The program established partnerships with international institutions and developed a number of collaborative R&D activities. This presentation gives an overview of these activities, with a focus on the coupled processes occurring in engineered and natural barriers.
