Cost estimates for greater confinement disposal of radioactive wastes
Journal Article
·
· Nucl. Chem. Waste Manage.; (United States)
The purpose of greater confinement disposal is to provide an intermediate disposal method for radioactive wastes considered unsuitable for shallow land burial but not requiring the isolation of a deep geologic repository. Presented are cost estimates for various disposal facility alternatives. It is concluded that greater confinement disposal can be cost competitive with shallow land burial and is cost effective in reducing long-term care costs.
