- Written with swiss collaborators, this paper describes field campaigns to characterise pore water colloids from locations around the world, in-laboratory batch experiments and modelling studies. Its impact lies in bringing these different outcomes together for the first time. It is believed that colloidal transport may be the greatest risk of actinide migration around a nuclear waste repository; significantly, these results show that colloidal particles availability for transport is very low when the repository is surrounded by clays. Demonstrating the importance of this study, the author has been invited to present at several conferences (Example ICGE-2020, Paris Clichy, September 13-15, 2020).
