The disposal of radioactive waste is a central issue in the future
of nuclear power and poses considerable technical, political and
social issues. This book addresses these topics in an integrated
fashion using performance assessment of the disposal concept as a
unifying theme. Subjects addressed include: regulatory criteria;
waste types, sources and characteristics; man-made or "engineered"
barriers; the selection and evaluation of geological disposal
media; the use of underground research laboratories; the movement
of radionuclides in the biosphere; repository performance
assessment tools and approaches; addressing uncertainty and spatial
variability; assessing information from natural systems; and
looking at radioactive waste in relation to other wastes. The book
provides an up-to-date picture of radioactive waste disposal issues
and will be of interest to scientists, engineers and consultants
working in the nuclear industry and the environmental field.
