ABSTRACT Bentonite clay is an integral component of the engineered barrier system of deep geological repositories (DGRs) that are planned for the long-term storage of high-level radioactive waste. Although nucleic acid extraction and analysis can pro

Extraction of microbial DNA from MX-80 bentonite is challenging due to low biomass and adsorption of nucleic acid molecules to the charged clay matrix. Blocking agents improve DNA recovery, but their impact on microbial community profiles from low-bi

Within a Deep Geological Repository for used nuclear fuel storage, compacted bentonite clays are the candidate buffer due to their physical and rheological properties, and their ability to suppress microorganisms. This study focused on the potential

Highly-compacted bentonite (HCB)-based sealing systems are being developed for potential use in nuclear fuel waste repositories because of their inherent physicochemical and rheological properties. Results from previous short-duration (40–90 days)

Genomics enjoys overwhelming popularity in the study of microbial ecology. However, extreme or atypical environments often limit the use of such well-established tools and consequently demand a novel approach. The bentonite clay matrix proposed for u

The Nuclear Waste Management Organization (NWMO) is developing a Deep Geological Repository (DGR) to contain and isolate used nuclear fuel in a suitable rock formation at a depth of approximately 500 m. The design concept employs a multibarrier syste

The human environment is predominantly not aqueous, and microbes are ubiquitous at the surface-air interfaces with which we interact. Yet microbial studies at surface-air interfaces are largely survival-oriented, whilst microbial metabolism has overw
