Le jour lunaire est l'intervalle de temps compris entre deux passages consécutifs de la Lune au même méridien. Il est plus long de cinquante-deux minutes environ que le jour solaire moyen. Cela correspond à l'intervalle qui sépare deux marées consécutives en un même lieu, puisque les marées sont surtout dues à l'action de la Lune sur les eaux de la mer. 2, record 1, French, - jour%20lunaire

La barrière géologique est constituée par l’ensemble des couches de terrain qui se trouvent interposées entre le stockage et la biosphère. Elle joue un rôle essentiel dans le système d’isolement après la phase de décroissance rapide. C’est elle qui doit ralentir le processus de transfert de la radioactivité. Le milieu qui entoure immédiatement le stockage est appelé roche hôte; l’ensemble des différentes couches géologiques au-delà de la roche hôte est regroupé sous la dénomination de roche barrière. La roche hôte et la roche barrière peuvent être de composition géologique identique ou différente. La roche hôte doit posséder de bonnes qualités géotechniques pour permettre la réalisation des ouvrages de génie minier. C’est elle qui sera exposée aux effets thermiques induits par les déchets. 2, record 6, French, - barri%C3%A8re%20g%C3%A9ologique

La capacité de confinement concerne l'aptitude des formations géologiques à isoler les déchets de la biosphère; elle est relative à la sûreté post-fermeture. En premier lieu, il s’agit de protéger les déchets des agressions extérieures et tout particulièrement de l'action lixiviante de l'eau. À long terme, la barrière géologique, c'est-à-dire l'ensemble des formations géologiques entourant le stockage, protégerait l'environnement si, par exemple, les barrières manufacturées entourant les déchets venaient à être détruites. 3, record 6, French, - barri%C3%A8re%20g%C3%A9ologique
