The Saclay plateau is a sand plateau 75 m thick on a clay base (2). Its upper surface is covered by a heterogeneous layer of clay containing pieces of grindstone of varying sizes. The ion-exchange capacity of this soil is considerable, 25 meq/100 g. Low-activity waste could therefore be discharged into it, especially since the plateau has no lateral water outcrops of any size and underground water does not reappear for a long time. This method of disposal is still only experimental. It was tested with a solution of Sr{sup 90} and tritium having an activity equal to the permitted levels. %0Conference %N;Other: ISSN 0074-1884; TRN: XA13M3503016868 %1 %CIAEA %Rhttps://doi.org/ Other: ISSN 0074-1884; TRN: XA13M3503016868 INIS %GEnglish
