Selenium is a trace element with major environmental implications, due to the extremely narrow range between its essential and toxic concentrations. Furthermore, the significant inventory of 79Se within high level radioactive waste coupled with its long physical half-life makes the study of stable Se behavior (as a surrogate of 79Se) important for our understanding of the long-term safety of any radioactive waste repository.
