RADIOACTIVE WASTE ISOLATION IN SALT: SPECIAL ADVISORY REPORT ON THE STATUS OF THE OFFICE OF NUCLEAR WASTE ISOLATION'S PLANS FOR REPOSITORY PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT
RADIOACTIVE WASTE ISOLATION IN SALT: SPECIAL ADVISORY REPORT ON THE STATUS OF THE OFFICE OF NUCLEAR WASTE ISOLATION'S PLANS FOR REPOSITORY PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT
Repository performance assessment is analysis that identifies events and processes that might affect a repository system for isolation of radioactive waste, examines their effects on barriers to waste migration, and estimates the probabilities of their occurrence and their consequences. In 1983 Battelle Memorial Institute's Office of Nuclear Waste Isolation (ONWI) prepared two plans — one for performance assessment for a waste repository in salt and one for verification and validation of performance assessment technology. At the request of the U.S.

LESSONS LEARNED FROM YUCCA MOUNTAIN: HOW TO IMPROVE THE PROCESS IN THE UNITED STATES FOR DEVELOPING FACILITIES FOR GEOLOGIC DISPOSAL OF USED NUCLEAR REACTOR FUEL AND HIGH-LEVEL RADIOACTIVE WASTE
LESSONS LEARNED FROM YUCCA MOUNTAIN: HOW TO IMPROVE THE PROCESS IN THE UNITED STATES FOR DEVELOPING FACILITIES FOR GEOLOGIC DISPOSAL OF USED NUCLEAR REACTOR FUEL AND HIGH-LEVEL RADIOACTIVE WASTE
This white paper offers some suggestions about how to improve the process in the United States for developing facilities for geologic disposal of used nuclear reactor fuel and high-level radioactive waste. These suggestions look toward the future, and build on what I believe are the lessons that should be learned from the troubled Yucca Mountain repository project.

Korean Second National Report Under the Joint Convention on the Safety of Spent Fuel Management and on the Safety of Radioactive Waste Management, Korean Implementation of the Obligations of the Joint Convention Second Review Meeting
The Korean government has maintained a consistent national policy for stable energy supply by fostering nuclear power industries under the insufficient energy resources in the country. Nuclear power reached approximately 40 % of total domestic electricity generation. Since the commencement of the first commercial operation of Kori Unit 1 in April 1978, 20 units of NPPs are commercially operating as of October 2005. Four units out of the 20 operating NPPs are Pressurized Heavy Water Reactors (PHWRs) at Wolsong.

Report of Early Site Suitability Evaluation of the Potential Repository Site at Yucca Mountain, Nevada
Report of Early Site Suitability Evaluation of the Potential Repository Site at Yucca Mountain, Nevada
This study evaluated the technical suitability of Yucca Mountain, Nevada, as a potential site for a mined geologic repository for the permanent disposal of radioactive waste. The evaluation was conducted primarily to determine early in the site characterization program if there are any features or conditions at the site that indicate it is unsuitable for repository development. A secondary purpose was to determine the status of<br/>knowledge in the major technical areas that affect the suitability of the site.

RD&D-Programme 2004 Programme for research, development and demonstration of methods for the management and disposal of nuclear waste, including social science research
The preceding RD&D-Programme from 2001 was concentrated on research and technology development. Research with a focus on the assessment of long-term safety was emphasized and viewpoints from previous reviews of SR 97 and RD&D-Programme 98 were dealt with in depth. SR 97 was an assessment of the long-term safety of a deep repository for spent nuclear fuel. This RD&D-Programme 2004 focuses its attention on the development of technologies for fabrication and sealing of canisters for final disposal of spent fuel.

Handling and final disposal of nuclear waste: Siting of a deep repository
The siting of the facilities for the disposal of spent nuclear fuel and other long-lived<br/>nuclear waste is one of the central remaining tasks within the Swedish waste programme.<br/>Work relating to the siting of the repository is being conducted in stages and will<br/>continue for most of the 1990:ies. This report describes the background to, the goals<br/>for and structure of SKB 's activities relating to the siting of a deep geological<br/>repository.
Treatment and final disposal of nuclear waste Detailed R&D-Programme 1993–1998
Treatment and final disposal of nuclear waste Detailed R&D-Programme 1993–1998
The goal of radioactive waste management in Sweden is to dispose of all radioactive waste products generated at the Swedish nuclear power plants in a safe manner. Furthermore, all other radioactive waste that arises in Sweden shall be safely disposed of.<br/>The Act on Nuclear Activities requires that the owners of the Swedish nuclear power plants adopt the measures that are needed to achieve this goal. The owners of the Swedish nuclear power plants have commissioned the Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Company (SKB) to implement the measures that are needed.<br/>
