This meeting has become the premier international forum for scientific and engineering issues related to the final disposal of nuclear waste. This broad-based international participation provides the foundation for future scientific collaborations that should lead to the safe and economic disposal of nuclear wastes. The principal topics addressed in this meeting included: (1) glass and crystalline waste forms; (2) spent nuclear fuel; (3) canister and overpack materials; (4) cement as a waste form and engineered barrier; (5) radiation effects; (6) radionuclide speciation, solubility and retardation; (7) colloids; (8) groundwater flow and transport processes; (9) performance and safety assessments; (10) site characterization; (11) processing and separation technologies; and (12) the use of natural systems to model long-term processes. Part 1 of these proceedings contains papers arranged under the following topical sections: glass; reactive transport and microbes; buffer materials; groundwater and flow transport processes; performance assessment and safety assessment; spent fuel durability; and container materials. Papers have been processed separately for inclusion on the data base.
