Radionuclide Retention in Geologic Media
Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development 2002; US$ 92.00GEOTRAP is the OECD/NEA Project on Radionuclide Migration in Geologic, Heterogeneous Media carried out in the context of site evaluation and safety assessment of deep repository systems for long-lived radioactive waste. Retention of radionuclides within the geosphere for prolonged periods is an important safety function of deep geologic disposal concepts... more...
The Handling of Timescales in Assessing Post-closure Safety of Deep Geological Repositories
Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development 2002; US$ 81.00A workshop entitled the "Handling of timescales in assessing post-closure safety" of deep geological repositories for radioactive waste was organised in Paris on 16-18 April 2002 and hosted by the French Institute for Radiological Protection and Nuclear Safety (IRSN). The main objective of the workshop was to identify and discuss approaches... more...
Gas Generation and Migration in Radioactive Waste Disposal
Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development 2001; US$ 75.00In underground repositories for radioactive waste, significant quantities of gases may be generated as a result of several processes. The potential impact of gas generation, accumulation and migration on the performances of the various barriers and, ultimately, on the long-term safety of a repository, should therefore be assessed in the development... more...
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...
Porewater Extraction from Argillaceous Rocks for Geochemical Characterisation
Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development 2000; US$ 102.00The definition of the chemical and isotopic composition of the groundwater present in argillaceous formations, which are considered as potential host rocks for radioactive waste disposal, is crucial for establishing their barrier properties. Therefore, a critical review of the relevant literature on the current methods applied to extract water and... 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...
Nuclear Regulation Investing in Trust
Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development 2001; US$ 100.00Good governance and efficiency in decision making by governmental authorities are increasingly dependent upon mutual trust and confidence between those authorities and the public. This workshop provided an opportunity to exchange information and views on how national nuclear regulatory organisations can improve their interface with the public. more...
Radioactive Waste in Perspective
Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development 2010; US$ 67.00Large volumes of hazardous wastes are produced each year, however only a small proportion of them are radioactive. While disposal options for hazardous wastes are generally well established, some types of hazardous waste face issues similar to those for radioactive waste and also require long-term disposal arrangements. The objective of this NEA study... more...
Remediation of Former Manufactured Gas Plants and Other Coal-Tar Sites
CRC Press 2011; US$ 199.95Over the long history of former manufactured gas plants (FMGPs) and other coal-tar-producing sites, there were an enormous variety of fuel stocks used as well as many processing and disposal methods, each leading to unique waste and site circumstances. This book supplies the historical information needed to understand and accurately predict the transport... more...
High Level Radioactive Waste (HLW) Disposal
WIT Press 2011; US$ 260.00High Level Radioactive Waste (HLW) Disposal, A Global Challenge presents the most recent information on proposed methods of disposal for the most dangerous radioactive waste and for assessing their function from short- and long-term perspectives. It discusses new aspects of the disposal of such waste, especially HLW.The book is unique in the literature... more...
