The Symposium on the Scientific Basis for Nuclear Waste Management was held in the fall of 1979 in Boston, Massachusetts where 110 papers were presented. These span many of the areas of nuclear waste management, from the processes that produce the wastes to the production and characterization of various potential waste forms, the materials behavior of various engineered barriers, the nature of the repository and its response to the nuclear wastes, and, finally to our predictive capability for assessing the consequences of emplacing wastes in repositories. These detailed technical papers are prefaced by a short series of overview papers which discuss current policies, activities and criteria for nuclear waste management. Individual abstracts were prepared.
