Description

This technical text examines the methods used for the geological disposal of highly radioactive solid wastes. As many countries explore options for disposing of these materials in purpose-built, engineered repositories deep underground, the nuclear industry faces the challenge of proving long-term safety. While surface and shallow repositories for less radioactive wastes are already in operation, deep underground storage requires rigorous demonstration that wastes will remain contained for extended periods. One method for building confidence in the long-term safety of a repository is to study the physics of these systems and utilize natural analogues. This book provides insight into how repositories can be designed to ensure that any future releases pose no significant risk to human health or the environment. It serves as a resource for understanding the engineering and environmental considerations involved in managing radioactive waste through geological disposal.

Key Features

Explores the disposal of highly radioactive solid wastes in purpose-built, engineered repositories deep underground.

Discusses the existing operation of surface and shallow repositories used for less radioactive wastes.

Addresses the industry challenge of demonstrating that repositories can contain waste for long periods without risk.

Examines the use of natural analogues to build confidence in the long-term future safety of waste repositories.

Provides technical context regarding the environmental and health risks associated with potential waste releases.
