Abstract:
Among the unconsolidated sediments, sand deposits are considered a rather unconventional geologic host medium for siting radioactive waste repositories, the clays being the preferred choice. A closer examination of the various geologic media, however, shows that in each case there are advantages and disadvantages. The key to safe and cost-effective disposal is to match the engineered design of the facility to the site's characteristics as well as the nature of the waste to be disposed of. In humid climates, free-draining sediments such as sand can provide the advantage of eliminating concern r

The materials science of radioactive waste forms and containment materials has long been a subject of interest to the Materials Research Society. One of the earliest (and continuing) MRS symposia, the Scientific Basis for Nuclear Waste Management, has been held 18 times since 1978. This symposium rotates abroad every third year: Berlin in 1982, Stockholm in 1985, Berlin in 1988, Strasbourg in 1991, and Kyoto this past October. Nearly 170 papers were presented at the Kyoto meeting.Materials science issues for nuclear waste disposal are unique in their scale and consequences. The wastes include

This article discusses that new methods and heavier equipment are expected to hasten the nuclear waste transfer at the Hanford Site’s tank farms. The site includes old processing plants, groundwater that exceeds safe levels of radioactivity, and high-level radioactive waste held in 149 aging tanks—some more than 60 years old—that lie underground just 10 miles from the Columbia River. The objective is to remove the highly radioactive waste from the old tanks, which have a single shell construction, and transfer it to 28 newer, more-secure double-shell tanks nearby, where the waste will safely r

The selection of a location for the disposal of radioactive waste, used sources and spent nuclear fuel in the Republic of Croatia began to be considered as early as 1988.

One possible location is Čerkezovac in the Trgovska Gora area, which is located in the Una River basin and less than 1 km away from the border with Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is planned to establish a Radioactive Waste Management Center in Čerkezovac, where all spent radioactive sources located at two sites in Cr

The Koongarra uranium deposit is hosted by quartz-chlorite schists. A conceptual model for the hydrogeology of the deposit is proposed on the basis of lithologic criteria and limited hydraulic testing. Water-level and aquifer-test data are presented that indicate the deposit lies within a partially confined, heterogeneous, anisotropic fractured-rock aquifer. The aquifer is dynamic with annual, diurnal, and semidiurnal water-level fluctuations. The results of aquifer tests indicate a high degree of connectivity in the aquifer.

Abstract:
A significant fraction of the high-level nuclear waste produced from fuel reprocessing operations at the Savannah River Site (SRS) must be pretreated to remove 137Cs, 90Sr and alpha-emitting radionuclides (i.e., actinides) prior to disposal onsite as low level waste. Separation processes planned at the SRS include caustic side solvent extraction for 137Cs and sorption onto monosodium titanate (MST) for 90Sr and alpha-emitters. The predominant alpha-emitting radionuclides in the highly alkaline waste solutions include plutonium isotopes 238Pu, 239Pu and 240Pu. This paper describes the planned S
