9th International Conference on Clays in Natural and Engineered Barriers for Radioactive Waste Confinement (Clay Conference) 2024 in Hanover, Germany from November 25th to 28th 2024, February 26, 2024
In cooperation with the Federal Institute for Geosciences and Natural Resources (BGR), the German Federal Agency for Nuclear Waste Disposal (BGE) is hosting the 9th International Conference on Clays in Natural and Engineered Barriers for Radioactive Waste Confinement (Clay Conference) in Hanover in 2024. First organised in 2002 by the French project promoter ANDRA (Agence Nationale pour la Gestion des Déchets Radioactifs), the international conference offers experts from all over the world and from various disciplines and organisations a scientific platform to deal with various aspects of clay host rocks and barriers to the management of radioactive waste in clay and clay rocks, and to learn about the research and development of radioactive waste in clay and clay rocks and exchange views on the progress of research in this field.The aim of the Clay Conference conference series is to discuss the current research results on the properties and suitability of clay host rocks and clay geotechnical barriers, to compare knowledge internationally and to continuously deepen it. The conference from 25th to 28th November 2024 at the Hanover Congress Centrum (HCC) will focus on lectures and poster presentations. On 24th and 29th November, a supplementary supporting programme with workshops and excursions is planned. |
