Abstract

The redox potential (Eh) in a cementitious nuclear waste repository is critical to the retardation behavior of redox-sensitive radionuclides (RNs), and largely controlled by embedded steel corrosion but hard to be determined experimentally. Here, we propose an innovative Eh determination method base...
