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

Comptes 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 ...

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

Journal 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.
