Description

The Canadian Nuclear Fuel Waste Management Program is now in a generic concept assessment phase. The concept is based on immobilization of the fuel waste followed by emplacement in an underground vault 500 to 1000 m deep in a stable plutonic rock in the Canadian Shield. One of the goals of the concept assessment phase of the program is to assimilate the results of laboratory and field research to produce estimates of the potential impact of the disposal vault on man and the environment
