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. 5, record 2, French, - roche%20h%C3%B4te
