Geologic Factors in Nuclear Waste Disposal
Geologic Factors in Nuclear Waste Disposal
The study of geosciences and their relation to nuclear waste disposal and<br/>management entails analyzing the hydrology, chemistry, and geometry of the<br/>nuclear waste migration process. Hydrologic effects are determined by<br/>analyzing the porosity and permeability (natural and induced) of rock as well,<br/>as pressures and gradients, dispersion, and aquifer length of the system.<br/>Chemistry parameters include radionuclide retardation factors and waste<br/>dissolution rate.

Joint Convention on the Safety of Spent Fuel Management and on the Safety of Radioactive Waste Management, First Review Meeting of the Contracting Parties 3 to 14 November 2003, Vienna, Austria, Summary Report
1. The operation of nuclear reactors whether for the purposes of electricity production or research, generates spent nuclear fuel and radioactive waste. Other activities also generate radioactive waste. The recognition by the international community of the importance of ensuring the safety of the management of spent fuel and the safety of the management of radioactive waste, led to the Joint Convention on the Safety of Spent Fuel Management and on the Safety of Radioactive Waste Management (Convention).

Institutional Issues in the Planning and Implementation of a Program to Dispose of High-Level Radioactive Wastes
Institutional Issues in the Planning and Implementation of a Program to Dispose of High-Level Radioactive Wastes
The research reported here was initiated in January 1980 and performed for the Office of Policy and Evaluation, U.S. Department of Energy. The study arises from recognition by the DOE that the resolution of institutional issues is vital to the establishment of facilities to dispose of high-level radioactive waste (HLW). The disposal of HLW is an intensely difficult public policy problem.
