GEOLOGY AND HYDROLOGY IN THE DISPOSAL OF RADIOACTIVE WASTES

Journal Article · · Bull. Georgia Acad. Sci.
OSTI ID:4135332
The problems of radioactive waste disposal and the talents needed to solve them are varied. Solid, liquid, and gaseous wastes must be handled in different ways. Many of the methods are in the realm of the earth sciences. Ground disposal of solid as well as low- and intermediate-level liquid wastes is an efficient, safe, and economical method when effected under carefully controlled conditions. Geological and hydrological parameters are of utmost importance in this method. Other means of radioactive waste disposal of concern to geologists are being investigated, and more research and development need to be done on these projects. (auth)
