AB  - For the last 30 years, the NEA Thermochemical Database (TDB) Project 
      (www.oecd-nea.org/dbtdb/) has been developing a chemical thermodynamic database 
      for elements relevant to the safety of radioactive waste repositories, providing 
      data that are vital to support the geochemical modeling of such systems. The 
      recommended data are selected on the basis of strict review procedures and are 
      characterized by their consistency. The results of these efforts are freely 
      available, and have become an international point of reference in the field. As a 
      result, a number of important national initiatives with regard to waste 
      management programs have used the NEA TDB as their basis, both in terms of 
      recommended data and guidelines. In this article we describe the fundamentals and 
      achievements of the project together with the characteristics of some databases 
      developed in national nuclear waste disposal programs that have been influenced 
      by the NEA TDB. We also give some insights on how this work could be seen as an 
      approach to be used in broader areas of environmental interest.
