Experiments have been performed to study the thermal performance of a backfilled disposal vault in which the waste containers are emplaced in boreholes and surrounded by a bentonitesand buffer. The near-field thermal regime in a buffer-backfill disposal vault in which the nuclear fuel waste is empl
