| Description: | Miscellaneous Paper Abstract: For many reasons and many years, candidate cement-based materials for closure of the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) have been proportioned with components to make them both salt-saturated and expansive. The chloride and sulfate phases that form when these materials hydrate have the potential to be chemically unstable if chemical conditions shift. Interconversions between these phases were considered a potential threat to grout or concrete stability and were the focus of extensive research during the 1980's. A review of published research from other sources and of both published and unpublished research from the WES revealed that these phase transformations do occur in conditions similar to those of the WIPP repository, but that these changes pose little threat to the integrity of cement-based plugging and sealing materials. |
