Considering timescales in the post-closure safety of geological disposal of radioactive waste

Considering timescales in the post-closure safety of geological disposal of radioactive waste

A key challenge in the development of safety cases for the deep geological disposal of radioactive waste is handling the long time frame over which the radioactive waste remains hazardous. The intrinsic hazard of the waste decreases with time, but some hazard remains for extremely long periods. This...
