Storage of radwaste in tuff was studied. Adsorption experiments were conducted with {sup 85}Sr, {sup 95}Tc, {sup 137}Cs, {sup 133}Ba, and {sup 152}Eu. The geochemistry and mineralogy-petrology of tuff were studied. Organic and inorganic Eh buffers were investigated. Rock physics studies were also conducted. (DLC
