Clay is an effective material for storing radioactive waste due to its low permeability, which prevents the migration of contaminants into the surrounding environment. Its stable structure and ability to absorb moisture help inhibit the corrosion of waste containers. Additionally, clay has a high capacity for ion exchange, which can further immobilize radionuclides and reduce their mobility. These properties make clay a suitable barrier in deep geological repositories for long-term waste containment.

How is clay case disposed of?
Clay waste can be disposed of in different ways depending on local regulations. Common methods include recycling the clay into new products, disposing of it in a landfill, or using it as fill material in construction projects. It is important to follow environmental guidelines to ensure proper disposal of clay waste.
