  2. Deep geological repository - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_geological_repository

    A deep geological repository is a way of storing hazardous or radioactive waste within a stable geologic environment, typically 200–1,000 m below the surface of the earth. [1] It entails a combination of waste form, waste package, engineered seals and geology that is suited to provide a high level of long-term isolation and containment ...

    The Onkalo spent nuclear fuel repository is a deep geological repository for the final disposal of spent nuclear fuel. [1] [2] It is near the Olkiluoto Nuclear Power Plant in the municipality of Eurajoki, on the west coast of Finland. It will be the world's first long-term disposal facility for spent nuclear fuel.

    The Yucca Mountain Nuclear Waste Repository is an unfinished, currently defunct deep geological repository in Nye County, Nevada. In 1987, Congress selected Yucca Mountain to be researched as the potential first permanent repository of nuclear waste, and directed the Department of Energy (DOE) to disregard other proposed sites and study Yucca ...

  6. High-level radioactive waste management - Wikipedia

    The project to decontaminate the waste instead of shipping it to WIPP began at Los Alamos in 2022, read a report from the lab, intending to divert waste streams away from the repository.

  8. Nuclear Waste Policy Act - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_Waste_Policy_Act

    The Nuclear Waste Policy Act did not require anything approaching this standard for permanent deep-geologic disposal of high-level radioactive waste in the United States. U.S. Department of Energy guidelines for selecting locations for permanent deep-geologic high-level radioactive waste repositories required containment of waste within waste ...
