This report summarizes the Joint U.S.-Russian Studies of the Geologic Disposal Working Group. The group evaluated a consistent set of geologic disposal options in conjunction with five other working groups for disposition of excess plutonium from dismantled weapons. Mutually agreed-to technical facts and findings were identified for all of the studied excess plutonium disposal forms. These findings were summarized in terms of five joint study criteria identified during the January 1994 Summit between Presidents Yeltsin and Clinton.
