With the quantities and characteristics of radioactive materials involved, and with the diffusion and transport capabilities of the ocean environment, it is not considered necessary to assure continued containment of the radioactivity after the containers reach the required depth of 1 800 meters.

Page 201 - More than fifteen years' experience in the UK, the US and the USSR with the improving methods of handling highly radioactive liquid waste from fuel reprocessing by storage in special underground tanks has shown such storage to be a safe and practical interim measure. The longterm usefulness of this method is limited, however, by the long effective life of the waste (hundreds of years) and the comparatively short life of storage tanks, estimated at several decades. Accordingly, a number of countries...

Page 166 - The spray calcination method consists of feeding liquid wastes through a pneumatic nozzle into the top of a tower, the walls of which are heated to a high temperature (800 °C).
Page 195 - ... no utilization is made of on-site disposal for low and intermediate level liquid wastes or packaged, solid wastes; (e) piping and tanks (for all except very low activity liquids) are provided with secondary containment by being placed in pipe trenches and in concrete enclosures, so that leakage can be collected and returned to the waste system. Treatment and storage systems at the presently operating water reactors include decay hold-up tanks, evaporators, ion exchangers, steam-stripping, catalytic...
Page 209 - ... formations for this purpose. Salt has been chosen as the most optimum disposal media because of its unique geologic characteristics. Salt formations are dry, impervious to water, and not associated with usable ground water sources. Because of its plasticity, fractures in salt seal or close rapidly. Deposits of rock salt underlie some 400,000 square miles of the United States and may represent some of the few naturally occurring dry environments in the eastern part of the country. Extensive laboratory...
