Description
Problems of underground disposal of high-level radioactive wastes and the basic ways of their resolution specified by the HWTS program developed by the US Department of Energy are discussed. Peculiarities of geological structure of the territories are considered, where storages for disposal of long-lived high-level radioactive wastes are supposed to be arranged as well as the underground storage facility design. Ways of practical use of some nuclides, which were earlier considered to be liable to disposal, are pointed out
