Thermodynamic sorption models (TSMs) offer the potential to improve the incorporation of sorption in environmental modelling of contaminant migration. One specific application is safety cases for radioactive waste repositories, in which radionuclide sorption on mineral surfaces is usually described using distribution coefficients (K_d values). TSMs can be utilized to provide a scientific basis for the range of K_d values included in the repository safety case, and for assessing the response of K_d to changes in environmental conditions. By implementing TSMs, researchers can enhance the accuracy and reliability of predictions related to contaminant behavior in geological formations, thereby contributing to more effective risk assessments and management strategies for radioactive waste disposal. The application of these models holds significant implications for the design and operation of disposal facilities, offering insights into optimal materials and methods for enhancing containment and preventing environmental contamination. Overall, this exploration of TSMs reflects the critical need for robust modelling approaches in the sustainability and safety of radioactive waste management practices.
