Design Principles and Approaches for Radioactive Waste Repositories, Paperback / softback Book

Design Principles and Approaches for Radioactive Waste Repositories Paperback / softback

Part of the IAEA Nuclear Energy Series series

Paperback / softback

Description

A considerable level of international experience has been gained over the last decades in designing radioactive waste disposal facilities.

This publication is intended to assist Member States in planning for the disposal of radioactive waste.

Specifically, this publication describes the approaches and principles to be considered by the responsible organizations within a Member State involved in the planning and design of radioactive waste disposal facilities.

Examples are provided for all waste classes requiring disposal.

The examples are based on successfully implemented designs or on design concepts that are sufficiently advanced to demonstrate their overall feasibility for the safe disposal of radioactive waste.

Alternate disposal options are also discussed, describing solutions that rely on the conversion of existing facilities, such as mines or other underground openings as well as the potential for disposal in boreholes.
