Model substantiation of safe isolation of nuclear waste concentrates in a superdeep borehole repository

  • Published:
Radiochemistry Aims and scope

Abstract

The model substantiation is made for the technology of safe isolation of partitioned nuclear waste in the Earth continental crust. Ultradisperse technology involves successive conversion of a high-level solution of fission products into a consolidated concentrate in an iron phosphate ceramic. This ceramic after sealing in a silicon carbide container is arranged in a superdeep borehole repository.
