DESCRIPTION:
* Presents a current critical review in designing, siting, constructing and demonsrating the safety and environmental impact of deep repositories for radwaste* Addresses the fundamental principles of radioactive waste with up-to-date examples and real-world case studies* Written for a multi-disciplinary audience, with an appropriate level of detail to allow a non-specialist to understand. Additionally, only radioactive wastes are considered directly – even though such wastes often contain also significant chemotoxic or otherwise hazardous components. It is structured to provide a broad perspective of this multi-faceted, multi-disciplinary topic: providing enough detail for a non-specialist to understand the fundamental principles involved and with extensive references to sources of more detailed information. Many of the principles involved are generally applicable to other repository options (e.g. This book presents a critical review of designing, siting, constructing and demonstrating the safety and environmental impact of deep repositories for radioactive wastes. near-surface or on-surface disposal) and, indeed, to
"Methods of Storage/Disposal of Radioactive Waste: An Overview" according to Jan Peczkis. This anthology of articles is quite comprehensive for its small size. Each article has a large bibliography for further study. A nation-by-nation survey of radwaste-disposal methods is elaborated. Costs are included.There is a good introduction to the
