Geological Disposal of Nuclear Waste: a Primer [PDF]
Elements, 2016 The back-end of the nuclear fuel cycle has become the Achilles Heel of nuclear power. After more than 50 years of effort, there are, at present, no operating nuclear waste repositories for the spent nuclear fuel from commercial nuclear power plants or for the high-level waste from the reprocessing of spent fuel.

Safety Assessment for the Landfill Disposal of Decommissioning Waste Solidified by Magnesium Potassium Phosphate Cement [PDF]
, 2022 The decommissioning of a nuclear power plant generates large amounts of radioactive waste, which is of several types. Radioactive concrete powder is classified as low-level waste, which can be disposed of in a landfill.
