Ion implantation experiments suggest that the accumulation of alpha-recoil damage in radioactive waste storage materials, which behave like solid-state track detectors, plays a drastic role in their long-term degradation. The understanding of alpha-recoil "aging," overlooked in earlier studies, offers new guidelines for improving waste storage conditions.
