TI  - Use of Composite Barrier in Radioactive Waste Repositories
AB  - In this study, the performance of PAN/Zeolite-based composite barrier material was evaluated for the removal of 126Sn and 79Se radionuclides from an aqueous solution. Performance evaluation of the composite barrier material was performed separately for 126Sn and 79Se radionuclides using SWOT analysis. In addition, the risks to non-human organisms in case of accidental release of these radionuclides from radioactive waste landfills have been evaluated. These risks were evaluated by calculating the total doses of freshwater and terrestrial biota using the ERICA assessment tool. The exposed total dose range of reference biota as such crustaceans, phytoplankton, and vascular plants in freshwater was decreased to 4.02E6- 3.87E9 μG h-1 for 126Sn isotope, and 3.35E07-1.92E12 μG h-1 for 79Se isotope using composite barrier material. In terrestrial reference biota such as annelids, grasses and grasses, lichens and bryophytes, mammals and trees, the exposed total dose range was decreased to 4.51E06-7.41E04 μG h-1 for 126Sn and 2.15E06-5.53E09 μG h-1 for 79Se.
