Cementitious Materials Technology Exchange (DOE-EM Sponsored)
21/10/2019
Savannah River National Laboratory (SRNL) is hosting a technology exchange on 10 – 12 December 2019 in Augusta, Georgia, USA.
The aim of the exchange is to baseline the current state of cementitious materials and identify technology needs for formulation, processing and disposition. The goal of the meeting is to discuss the current state of art and to identify and update challenges and technology development opportunities for grout as a final waste form or end state for environmental restoration / facility decommissioning.
The event will consist of presentations and panel discussions, followed by a tour of the Savannah River Site (SRS) tour on the third day.
Please register by 11 November. Further details can be found in the event flyer.

Key Topic 2: Wasteforms and their Behaviour
This research aims to improve understanding of the behaviour of various wastes in geological disposal facilities in order to better quantify the processes controlling radionuclide, chemical and gas release from waste forms, to improve the quality of models used in safety assessments and to adequately define the types and magnitudes of uncertainties associated with various processes.
Key Topic 3: Technical Feasibility and Long-term Performance
This research area involves demonstrating and optimising technology and construction of a repository and its components, including confirming a feasible and safe operational phase and ensuring that the required safety functions are provided in the long-term after repository closure.
