Abstract
The application of the concept of deeply layered protection, which was developed for nuclear power plants, to modern methods for handling liquid radioactive wastes is examined. It is shown that this concept can be used successfully for assessing the safety status of different types of storage sites. It is concluded that it is desirable to develop for domestic nuclear fuel cycle objects a multilevel safety concept based on the principle of deeply layered protection and later to prepare on this basis the standardization documentation.
