Interim and final storage of nuclear waste
Final storage of nuclear waste in salt domes, which had been the only favored solution in the past few decades, was recently questioned in the course of preparing a safe, future-proof concept for the interim and final storage of radioactive waste. The search for the perfect final storage site was expanded to also investigate clay-containing and crystalline rocks as well as other environments. It is crucial that current final storage concepts ensure recoverability of nuclear waste from the final storage site to enable future generations to utilize new technologies in order to adjust its...
