摘要：

Defense related activities have produced a legacy of waste that must now be addressed. Temporary storage of the waste presents a great risk to the environment from potential release of radioactive material. This has resulted in the need fora permanent waste repository. One aspect to verify that a permanent repository is feasible is to study the effects of radioactive waste when integrated into the disposal environment Specific studies have been performed that study the gas generated from the direct contact of possible repository brine and radioactive waste. Four factors have been identified which influence the production of gases: radiolysis, microbial activity, corrosion, and evolved residual gas. The influence of these variables on the relative rates and total quantity of gases generated from waste contacted by brine are presented.
