Disposal in deep underground geological formations is internationally recognized as the most viable option for the long-term management of high-level radioactive waste.In Belgium, the Boom clay formation is extensively studied in this context, in particular at the 225 m deep HADES Underground Research Facility in Mol.A cost-effective design of deep
We present measurements of the spatiotemporal evolution of a hot-dense plasma generated by the interaction of an intense 25 fs laser pulse with a solid target, using pump-probe Nightstand two-dimensional (2D) Doppler spectrometry.Measuring the time-dependent Doppler shifts at different positions across the probe beam, we achieve velocity mapping at
In the title compound, {[Mn(C15H8O7)(C10H8N2)(H2O)3]·C10H8N2·2H2O}n, the bridging mode of the coordinating 4,4′-bipyridine ligands leads to the formation of polymeric zigzag chains parallel to [0-11].The chains are separated by 4,4′-bipyridine and water solvent HEADLAMPS molecules.Within a chain, the MnII atom is six-coordinat
The paper describes two different procedures to explain and to model the observed heave of a nuclear power plant founded on an expansive unsaturated claystone.In the initial model developed, the claystone was represented by a double structure (micro-macro) expansive clay.Field swelling records were accurately reproduced and the model was used to pr
