Sentence examples for host formation from inspiring English sources

In Belgium, the Boom clay was selected as a potential host formation for the disposal of high-level radioactive waste (HLW).

Boom Clay is presently studied as the reference host formation for the disposal of high-level and long-lived radioactive waste in Belgium.

The investigations are more specifically designed to evaluate the potential long-term migration pathways and reactivity of CO2 with the host formation, basically controlled by the regional hydrodynamics and geochemistry of aquifer systems.

In order to make a good evaluation of the balance between gas generation and gas dissipation through engineered barriers and host formation, good estimates for the gas diffusion coefficients of the gases are needed.

The heterologous expression of streptococcal genes in common Gram-negative hosts may be complicated by low-level expression, toxicity to the host, formation of inclusion bodies, and mislocalization of the encoded proteins.
