The Geological Disposal of Nuclear Waste

The Geological Disposal of Nuclear Waste

Editorial Reviews
The publisher, John Wiley & Sons
Unlike most books on the ``nuclear debate,'' this text is ``waste- oriented'': it thoroughly considers the future of nuclear power in terms of radioactive waste management. Tackles the subject in a detailed and integrated manner while making the information accessible both to those involved in the field and to the non-scientific reader. Analyzes the principles of nuclear waste management, methods and problems of disposal and safety assessments, and uses modelling techniques to demonstrate the effectiveness of barrier materials. Includes appendixes on international waste programs and radioactive waste literature.
