This book contains the results of a three-year research programme
by a joint team of experts from four different EU countries. The
main focus of this research was on investigating the possibility of
using abandoned underground mines for the disposal of hazardous
chemical waste with negligible pollution of the environment. The
research work was focused on: the possibility of using abandoned
underground mines for disposal of hazardous chemical waste with
negligible pollution of the environment; the properties and
behaviour of waste-isolating clay materials and practical ways of
preparing and applying them; development of software tools to
assess the stability, performance and risks associated with
different repository concepts, considering the long-term safety of
the biosphere; the isolating capacity of reference repositories;
the different approaches for handling hazardous chemical waste. The
project has demonstrated that hazardous waste can be safely
disposed in underground mines provided that adequate assessment,
planning and design procedures are employed.Information is also
included on the selection of site location, design and construction
of repositories, predicting degrees of contamination of groundwater
in the surroundings, estimation of isolating capacity of reference
repositories, cost estimation of this approach in comparison with
some other approaches, and many other relevant issues. Invaluable
to researchers and engineers working in the field of hazardous
(chemical) waste disposal, this title will also significantly aid
experts dealing with nuclear waste.
