Abstrakt: The European Commission CAST project (CArbon-14 Source Term) aimed to develop understanding of the potential release mechanisms of carbon-14 (radiocarbon, 14C) from radioactive waste materials under conditions relevant to waste packaging and disposal to underground geological disposal facilities. The project focused on the release of carbon-14 as dissolved and gaseous species from irradiated metals (steels, Zircaloys), from spent ion-exchange materials and from irradiated graphites. This paper provides an overview of the CAST project and its output. It also acts as an introduction and scene-setter to the other papers in this special edition of Radiocarbon. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
