Humic Substances in Performance Assessment of Nuclear Waste Disposal: Actinide and Iodine Migration in the Far-Field

G. Buckau

Abstract
The present report describes progress within the third and final year of the EC-project “Humic Substances in Performance Assessment of Nuclear Waste Disposal: Actinide and Iodine Migration in the Far-Field”. The work conducted within the present project builds on a number of previous activities/project supported by the Commission. It finds its continuation within different EC FP 6 instruments and also provides for additional continued cooperation through network structures resulting from the broad cooperation within the project.

Without being a formal requirement of the Commission or co-funding bodies, this report documents results in great technical detail and makes the results available to a broad scientific community. The report contains an executive summary written by the coordinator. More detailed results are given as individual contributions in the form of 12 annexes. Not all results are discussed or referred to in the executive summary report and thus readers with a deeper interest also need to consult the annexes.

The report also reflects the successful integration of a temporary contributor via a Marie-Curie Fellowship (MCFI-2001-01983) (Annex 12). Involvement of this Marie-Curie grantee also successfully contributes to training. A broad European dimension has been achieved by involvement of two new EU member states.

Results of the first two project years of the project have been published in the same form, i.e. as open FZKA reports (FZKA 6800 and FZKA 6969).
