Experimental storage of liquid radioactive wastes in deep geologic formations

  • Published:
Soviet Atomic Energy Aims and scope

Conclusions

  1. 1.

    Studies were made on a commercial scale of the disposal of liquid radioactive wastes in deep formations. The equipment and monitoring systems which were installed assured smooth and uninterrupted operation of the plant.

  2. 2.

    The acceptance of the delivery well stabilized at 1.2 m3/day per meter of overpressure after the initial startup and adjustment period.

  3. 3.

    The investigations showed that with favorable hydrogeologic conditions, the disposal of radioactive water in deep formations can be carried out on a commercial scale.

  4. 4.

    Based on engineering and economic calculations, and on operating experience, it was established that underground burial of wastes had an economic advantage over the evaporation method.
