Radioactive Waste Management
Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development 2007; US$ 70.00The long-term safety of deep disposal of radioactive waste is strongly dependent on the performance of the geological setting. The geology fulfils important safety functions including isolating the waste from human contact or intrusion, providing a stable physical and chemical environment, insulating against external disturbances, and preventing... more...
Radioactive Waste Management
Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development 2007; US$ 63.00These proceedings present the main findings from, and the papers delivered at, the fourth NEA-EC workshop on Engineered Barrier Systems (EBS), which took place in Tokyo, Japan, in September 2006. This final workshop of the series focused on strategies and methods to demonstrate that EBS designs will fulfill he relevant requirements for long-term... more...
Radioactive Waste Management Regulating the Long-Term Safety of Geological Disposal of Radioactive Waste
Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development 2008; US$ 56.00Regulating the long-term safety of geological disposal of radioactive waste is a key part of making progress on the radioactive waste management issue. A survey of member countries has shown that differences exist both in the protection criteria being applied and in the methods for demonstrating compliance, reflecting historical and cultural differences... more...
Waste Treatment in the Metal Manufacturing, Forming, Coating, and Finishing Industries
Taylor & Francis 2008; US$ 115.95A resource that provides various necessary technical information on industrial and hazardous waste treatment. It focuses on the developments in innovative and alternative technologies. It offers coverage of environmental pollution sources, waste characteristics, facility innovations, design criteria and control technologies. more...
Comprehensive chemical kinetics
Elsevier Science 1991; US$ 192.00This book has been written by a group of mathematicians and chemists whose common interest is in the complex dynamics of catalytic reactions. Based on developments in mathematical chemistry, a general theory is described that allows the investigation of the relationships between the kinetic characteristics of complex reactions and their detailed reaction... more...
Natural Analogue Studies in the Geological Disposal of Radioactive Wastes
Elsevier Science 2011; US$ 219.00The first purpose of this book is to provide a comprehensive review of the state of development of natural analogue studies with emphasis on those studies which are relevant to the following repository designs: Nagra (Switzerland) disposal concepts for high-level waste/low and intermediate-level waste; SKB (Sweden) disposal concepts for spent fuel/low... more...
Geological Storage of Highly Radioactive Waste
Springer 2009; US$ 159.99Describes and assesses concepts for long-term disposal of highly radioactive waste. This book discusses different types of rock with respect to practical difficulties in construction of a repository, and the efficiency in isolating radioactive waste. more...

Containment of High-Level Radioactive and Hazardous Solid Wastes with Clay Barriers
Taylor & Francis 2009; US$ 210.00One of the principal objections to or problems with the use of nuclear fuel is that a proven method for safe disposal of spent nuclear fuel has yet to be established. The central focus of most schemes underway to dispose of these high-level radioactive wastes relies on clay-based buffers and barriers to isolate spent fuel canisters in boreholes deep... more...
Underwater Tailing Placement at Island Copper Mine
SME 2002; US$ 99.00This book documents an important case study on the use of deep sea tailing placement at the Island Copper Mine on Canada?s Vancouver Island. It?s the most extensive study on underwater tailing placement ever conducted. Over the course of 30 years, more than 400 million tons of tailing solids were deposited on the ocean floor with minimal environmental... more...
