Description
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory interim progress report LLNL-TR-2020711, by M. Zavarin and dated August 19, 2026, reports on a web-based sorption database for the nuclear waste repository program. The milestone number is M4SF-26LL010204053, under crystalline host rock research. Sorption is how strongly dissolved substances stick to mineral surfaces. It is a key input when modeling how a repository would contain waste over time.
The database, called L-SCIE, holds sorption data for bentonite backfill and crystalline host rock. It includes the high-temperature data a deep repository scenario needs. In 2025 it was rebuilt from a Microsoft Access file into an open MariaDB database. The report describes the new web interface for pulling data for performance assessment. It applies the tool to modeling a shale repository, and it lists proposed fiscal 2027 work.
