Abstract
The Ruprechtov natural analogue site is being studied because its geological and geochemical conditions resemble sedimentary sequences which can cover potential host rocks for underground waste repositories. The uranium content, sorption and isotopic exchange were studied on five selected rock samples that represented i) layers with higher content of uranium and ii) neighboring layers with practically no uranium content with the aim to discuss processes influencing transport of uranium in the body. In addition, the titration curves of rock samples were determined and modeled by SCM and so called GC and CA approaches.
