Solute Transport in Deep Geology Disposal of High Radioactive Waste
This paper evaluates and analyzes the safety of solute transport as applicable to the deep geology ground water situation at the disposal of high-level radioactive wastes. This basis is consideration for basic safety assessment. Given the coupling effect

Geologic environments for nuclear waste repositories
High-level radioactive waste (HLW) results from spent reactor fuel and reprocessed nuclear material. Since 1957 the scientific consensus is that deep geologic disposal constitutes the safest means for isolating HLW for long timescales.
