Archaeologists advise on nuclear waste disposaldoi:10.1038/news021202-6Ball, PhilipNature
The modifying effect of ionizing radiation on aqueous environments and consequent corrosion effects are described. Applications discussed include nuclear power plant,nuclear reprocessingplant and, to a lesser extent, nuclear waste disposal. Consideration is also given to the special requirements of corrosion...
This is a significant area of controversy as opponents of geologic waste disposal fear that isotopes from stored waste could end up in water supplies or be carried into the environment. Emissions Nuclear reactors produce tritium as part of normal operations, which is eventually released into the ...
Additionally, building and maintaining nuclear plants can be prohibitively expensive, and nuclear waste disposal is a complex and costly problem. Finally, nuclear energy is only widely accepted in some countries due to the fear of nuclear accidents and the issues surrounding nuclear waste. ...
In the context of radioactive waste disposal in clay formations, reliable values for diffusion coefficients of dissolved hydrogen (H2) are essential for a correct evaluation of the balance between generated and dissipated gas. These are required mainly to estimate the pressure buildup in storage form...

This should give us more confidence in waste disposal plans, says Jonathan Lloyd, a geomicrobiologist at the University of Manchester, UK, who presented the research at the annual meeting of the Microbiology Society in Edinburgh last week. ...
Two local communities in Hokkaido are considering pitching themselves as candidates for the site for final disposal of highly radioactive waste from nuclear power plants. Last month, the mayor of Suttsu in the northernmost main island said the municipal government is thinking to apply for the first...
