Nuclear-Waste Disposal in Geologic Repositories
Nuclear-Waste Disposal in Geologic Repositories
Deep geologic repositories are being widely studied as the most favored method of disposal of nuclear waste. Scientists search for repository sites in salt, basalt, tuff and granite that are geologically and hydrologically suitable. The systematic evaluation of the safety and reliability of deep geologic disposal centers around the concept of interacting multiple barriers. The simplest element to describe of the geologic barrier is the physical isolation of the waste in a remote region at some depth within the rock unit.
Review Comments on Draft Environmental Assessment Richton Dome Site Mississippi
Review Comments on Draft Environmental Assessment Richton Dome Site Mississippi
The State of Mississippi has compiled this comment document on the Draft Environmental Assessment for the Richton Dome site, which is being considered by the Department of Energy for a possible nuclear waste repository. The comments in this document are based on contributions from state officials and state agencies, private contractor organizations, other state institutions and members of the public. DOE has of course received additional comments from members of the public and others in the public hearings on the subject that have been held in the State.

U.S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY’S SITING GUIDELINES AT 10 CFR 963
U.S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY’S SITING GUIDELINES AT 10 CFR 963
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has amended the policies under the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982 for evaluating the suitability of Yucca Mountain, Nevada, as a site for development of a nuclear waste repository. The final rule at Title 10, Part 963 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR Part 963) focuses on the criteria and methodology to be used for evaluating relevant geological and other related aspects of the Yucca Mountain site.
Geological Challenges in Radioactive Waste Isolation
Geological Challenges in Radioactive Waste Isolation
Over the past forty years, the development of the technology needed to isolate radioactive waste in underground rock systems has been found to be a formidable problem. This is especially the case in connection with high-level waste (HLW) after its removal from operations in nuclear power plants. There is also the additional problem of isolating low- and intermediate-level waste (LILW).
Geological Challenges in Radioactive Waste Isolation Third Worldwide Review
Geological Challenges in Radioactive Waste Isolation Third Worldwide Review
The first worldwide review of geological problems in radioactive waste isolation was published by the Ernest Orlando Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) in 1991 (Witherspoon, 1991). This review was a compilation of reports that had been submitted to a workshop held in conjunction with the 28th International Geological Congress that took place July 9Ð19, 1989, in Washington, D.C.
