High-density support matrices: Key to the deep borehole disposal of spent nuclear fuel [PDF]
, 2008 Deep (4–5 km) boreholes are emerging as a safe, secure, environmentally sound and potentially cost-effective option for disposal of high-level radioactive wastes, including plutonium.

Zircons and fluids: An experimental investigation with applications for radioactive waste disposal [PDF]
, 1990 The long-term stability of nuclear waste forms or barriers is related to changes in physical properties of the material induced through radiation damage and subsequent changes in solubility. Investigations conducted by us on natural zircons (ZrSiO{sub 4}) supports a positive correlation between level of alpha damage and fluid composition to enhanced ...

Anaerobic co-digestion in a liquid recirculation pilot-scale reactor: Thermal and hydraulic study
Energy Reports, 2020 Morocco’s economy relies heavily on agriculture, which leads to an abundance in the availability of both vegetal and animal waste. Different treatment and disposal methods have been proposed to produce energy.
