| Contents Notes |
The Geological Base for Developing and Assessing Concepts for HLW Disposal -- The Rock -- Engineered Barriers and Their Interaction with Rock -- Repository Concepts for HLW Including Spent Fuel and Waste with Long-Lived Radionuclides -- Underground Laboratories (URLs) -- Site Selection -- Risk Assessment. The book describes and assesses current concepts for long-term disposal of highly radioactive waste. Different types of rock are discussed and assessed with respect to practical difficulties in construction of a repository, and the efficiency in isolating radioactive waste. Safety matters are most important and are treated in the respective chapters and in a final, conclusive chapter. Cost issues and related quality matters are discussed for the case of constructing a virgin repository and repositories in the form of converted abandoned mines. |
