This book addresses these topics in an integrated fashion using performance assessment of the disposal concept as a unifying theme. Subjects addressed include: regulatory criteria; waste types, sources and characteristics; man-made or \"engineered\" barriers; the selection and evaluation of geological disposal media; the use of underground research laboratories; the movement of radionuclides in the biosphere; repository performance assessment tools and approaches; addressing uncertainty and spatial variability; assessing information from natural systems; and looking at radioactive waste in relation to other wastes. The book provides an up-to-date picture of radioactive waste disposal issues and will be of interest to scientists, engineers and consultants working in the nuclear industry and the environmental field.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eWaste Characteristics.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Repository and Barrier Concepts.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The Near-Field.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The Far-Field.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The Biosphere and Radiological Effects.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Selection of Waste Disposal Sites.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Site Characterisation and URLs.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Performance Assessment.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Uncertainty and Confidence Building.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Where Next.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Index.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Earth sciences [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Earth sciences\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Earth%20sciences%20%5BRB%5D%22\"\u003eRB\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52316700279064,"sku":"9780471960904","price":288.86,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780471960904.jpg?v=1781821934","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-scientific-and-regulatory-basis-for-the-geological-disposal-of-radioactive-waste-hardback-9780471960904","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
