This paper describes a repository excavated within the unsaturated zone that may release carbon (C)-14 dioxide in amounts that exceed limits imposed by regulatory agencies. Hazards of the release are examined. The authors argue that the repository regulations should exempt releases of C-14 dioxide or at least impose more equitable limits.
