Underground Radioactive Waste Disposal Concept

The paper presents some solution for radioactive waste disposal. An underground disposal of radioactive waste is proposed in deep boreholes of greater diameter, fitted with containers. In northern part of Croatia, the geological data are available on numerous boreholes. The boreholes were drilled during investigations and prospecting of petroleum and gas fields. The available data may prove useful in defining safe deep layers suitable for waste repositories. The paper describes a Russian disposal design, execution and verification procedure. The aim of the paper is to discuss some earlier proposed solutions, aand present a solution that has not yet been considered-lowering of containers with high level radioactive waste (HLW) to at least 500 m under the ground surface.
