Geological Considerations in Hazardous-Waste Disposal

Journal of Hydrology, 1981
Abstract Present regulations assume that long-term isolation of hazardous wastes — including toxic chemical, biological, radioactive, flammable and explosive wastes — may be effected by disposal in landfills that have liners of very low hydraulic conductivity.

Demonstration of Safety for Geologic Disposal

MRS Proceedings, 1993
ABSTRACTThe U. S. Department of Energy (DOE) is developing a nuclear waste management system that will accept high-level radioactive waste, transport it, store it, and ultimately emplace it in a deep geologic repository. The key activity now is determining whether Yucca Mountain, Nevada is suitable as a site for the repository.

Underground Criticality in Geologic Disposal

MRS Proceedings, 1996
ABSTRACTDisposition of weapons fissile material as once-through MOx fuel in reactors or immobilization in waste glass would result in end products requiring geologic disposal. Similar considerations apply to some spent fuels in a geologic repository.

ROLE AND STATUS OF GEOLOGICAL DISPOSAL

International Seminar on Nuclear War and Planetary Emergencies — 36th Session, 2007
For many years, nuclear supporters have been talking of a possible nuclear power renaissance. Today there are definite signs that this is finally beginning to happen. New plants are being built or planned in China, Japan, Korea, Finland, France and even the USA.

Is Geological Disposal the Only Answer?

MRS Proceedings, 1991
All wastes are distinguished by their harmful effects: radioactivity in the case of radioactive waste. An advantage of this type of waste is that the harmful effects diminish in time. Pending this radioactive decay, the materials must be contained to avoid human exposure to radiation, which is not difficult; assurance mlust also be provided, however ...

Immobilization and geological disposal of nuclear fuel waste

Canadian Journal of Physiology and Pharmacology, 1984
The Canadian Nuclear Fuel Waste Management Program is developing methods for the safe disposal of both used nuclear fuel and fuel recycle waste. The disposal strategy is based on interim storage of the used fuel, immobilization of either used fuel or recycle waste, and disposal, deep in a stable geological formation in the Canadian Shield.
