Geological Disposal of Radioactive Waste
Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development 2000; US$ 51.00The concept of removing long-lived radioactive wastes from the human environment by disposal in deep geological repositories was developed several decades ago. In the intervening years, research efforts world-wide have increased our knowledge and understanding of how underground disposal systems will function over very long periods of time. Significant... more...
Features, Events and Processes (FEPs) for Geologic Disposal of Radioactive Waste
Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development 2000; US$ 42.00Safety assessments of disposal sites for radioactive waste involve analyses of potential releases of radionuclides from the disposed waste and subsequent transport to the human environment. An important stage of assessment is the identification and documentation of all the features, events and processes (FEPs) that may be relevant to long-term safety.... more...
Nucleus and Nation
University of Chicago Press 2010; US$ 48.00In 1974 India joined the elite roster of nuclear world powers when it exploded its first nuclear bomb. But the technological progress that facilitated that feat was set in motion many decades before, as India sought both independence from the British and respect from the larger world. Over the course of the twentieth century, India metamorphosed... more...
