Research interest

• We study transport processes by means of radiotracer applications at laboratory scale.
• The array of applied methods includes:
  → Production of radionuclides
  → Development of radiotracer substances
  → Process studies in equilibrium and kinetic systems, in batch and columns
  → (3D+t) visualization of transport processes by means of GeoPET
  → Extraction of the velocity field of GeoPET data sets
  → Development of conceptual models
  → Numerical modeling of reactive transport processes in geosystems.

Scope

 Our activities address two themes in the Helmholtz Research Field Energy:

• Nuclear Safety Research (NUSAFE): Long-lived radionuclides in permanent disposal sites and
• Energy efficiency, Materials and Resources (EMR): Transport in geosystems.
