| Abstract | In many radioactive waste repository designs, cement-based materials are expected to dominate the repository and models of cement evolution predict that leaching of the cementitious material in the repository by groundwater will produce an initial stage of hyperalkaline (pH∼13.3) leachates, dominated by alkali hydroxides, followed by a longer period of portlandite and C-S-H (CaO-SiO2-H2O) buffered (pH∼12.5) leachates. It has also been predicted that, as the hyperalkaline porewater leaches out of the near-field, significant interaction with the repository host rock and bentonite buffer and backfill may occur. This could possibly lead to deterioration of those features for which the host rock formation and bentonite were originally chosen (e.g. low groundwater flux, high radionuclide retardation capacity etc). The precise implications of cement leachate/repository host rock interaction has been studied in the laboratory and in underground research laboratories (URLs) and this work has been supported by study of natural cements in Jordan. These natural cements have been produced by the combustion of organic-rich clay biomicrites and are very close analogues of industrial cement. Following interaction with groundwaters, natural hyperalkaline leachates are produced and these move out of the cement into the surrounding host rock, subsequently interacting with and altering it. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
