One of the principal objections to or problems with the use of
nuclear fuel is that a proven method for safe disposal of spent
nuclear fuel has yet to be established. The central focus of most
schemes underway to dispose of these high-level radioactive wastes
relies on clay-based buffers and barriers to isolate spent fuel
canisters in boreholes deep underground in specially constructed
tunnels and caverns.
Current thought on the principal methods of containment of
high-level radioactive wastes is presented in this book. The
authors proceed to discuss the processes and mechanisms involved in
the development of long term properties and performance of
clay-based buffers and backfills. The procedures and methodologies
used to undertake predictions and performance assessments of these
materials are also examined.
This is an invaluable reference for professionals, researchers,
academics and regulators engaged in the development of radioactive
waste sites.
