Abstract: Radiation and heat release is the intrinsic feature of high level radioactive waste. Their effect on bentonite performance is of vital importance for the safety assessment of high level waste repository. As a preliminary literature survey of findings on radiation and thermal effect on the performance of engineering barrier material, performance changes ofengineering barrier material at higher temperature (above 100 ℃) is focused inthis paper.

Key words: High level radioactive waste, Engineering barrier, Radiation effects, Thermal effects, Bentonite
