In the 21st century the safe disposal of highly radioactive nuclear waste remains a major challenge to humanity. For the first 300 years nuclear fission products will be the main source of large amounts of the radioactivity, however, over a period of 100,000s of years most of the radiotoxicity of nuclear waste will originate from transuranium elements such as Pu, Am, and Cm. Because of the reducing conditions within a potential deep underground repository Am and Cm will exclusively – and Pu at least partially – be present in their trivalent state. For the safety case of a repository, it will be of importance to understand the mobility and retention behavior of those trivalent actinides within the host rock environment. Here, the focus is set on crystalline rock, a host rock under consideration in many countries such as Finland, Sweden, Czech Republic, and also Germany.
