What is it about?
Analyses the mechanism of mechanical damage of non-metallic nuclear wasteforms caused by electrical field induced in the insulating materials by the decay of radionuclides

Why is it important?
This mechanism can really lead to nuclear wasteform destruction in conditions of non-uniform radionuclide distribution
Perspectives
The waste form should be as much as possible homogeneous and conducting electrical currents to avoid potential damage caused by electrical charges induced by radioactive decay and the effects caused by these charges.
