High-level radioactive waste repository: How Geology combined with societal principles can lead to public acceptance—the German experiment

open access: yesComptes Rendus. Géoscience, 2023
Using nuclear power for civil energy generation was a promising idea in the second half of the 20th century. Compared to fossil fuels, nuclear power results in almost no $\mathrm{CO}_{2}$ bearing emissions, which are known to have triggered and enhanced ...

High-Level Radioactive Waste Disposal [PDF]

open access: yesPHYSICS AND THE ENERGY PROBLEM — 1974: The Proceedings of the American Physical Society Topical Conference on Energy, 1974
The U.S. Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) is developing additional plans and new methods for managing radioactive wastes generated by past, present and future operations. The objectives of these programs are to; (1) ensure the health and safety of the public, (2) protect our environment and ecology, and (3) use methods acceptable to the public.

Numerical analysis of thermal process in the near field around vertical disposal of high-level radioactive waste

open access: yesJournal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering, 2014
For deep geological disposal of high-level radioactive waste (HLW) in granite, the temperature on the HLW canisters is commonly designed to be lower than 100 °C. This criterion dictates the dimension of the repository.
