stratigraphy, Aquatic chemistry,
etc. Kicking the can down the road
based on ungrounded assumptions
for a good outcome after 1,000 or
10,000 years, by using a technically
easy and cheap method for sequestering radioactive HLW, questions
our credibility and responsibility to
the future generations.
trous because the entire geological
repository will become very highly
contaminated and difficult to be
maintained and control. This will
include additional complex issues of
maintaining surrounding the engineering barrier for extended geologic time, with unknown bio hazard consequences. The situation
becomes more complicate from
established in the Mining science
indisputable fact, that at any time
new artificial cell is formed in the
rock matrix, the thermodynamic
changes forms around water vapors
condenses in form of established in
geology perched fresh water lenses.
These lenses are the next issue to
come with toxic compounds transport (including long-lived radioactive isotopes and formed from the
decay of other toxic chemical and
reactive compounds).
