[en] To render high level radioactive waste nontoxic, isolation from humans and their environment is necessary for 500,000-1,000,000 years. A consensus is that only geological formations will maintain integrity this long. Numerous methods have been proposed. Literature on radioactive waste disposal is reviewed. Ice sheet disposal, ocean disposal, routine release of low level waste, treatment, land burial and storage, mathematic models for transport of dissolved radionuclides, and transuranics are surveyed

[en] Research has been carried out in Canada since 1953 on nuclear waste disposal. Underground disposal has been chosen, and a list of around 100 suitable locations in the Canadian Shield is being drawn up. Surrounding communities will be involved in the final decision on disposal sites. Plans for transportation and processing of wastes are described. A disposal site will not be needed until the beginning of the next century, and will be able to handle all wastes produced over 50 years. (LL)

[en] In Belgium, radioactive waste management is entrusted by law to a national agency, whose competences inlcude the development of disposal solutions. Two projects are currently going on, viz., near-surface disposal for low-level and short-lived waste and geological disposal in clay for long-lived and/or high-level waste (vitrified waste or spent fuel). The paper outlines the main features of both projects: historical background, basic concept, current status, and future implementation prospects. Taking into account only the technical requirements, near-surface disposal could become operational within the coming 4 to 5 years, and geological disposal, around the year 2035. (orig.)

In Belgien ist durch Gesetz eine staatliche Einrichtung fuer die Beseitigung radioaktiver Abfaelle eingerichtet worden. Zu ihren Zustaendigkeiten gehoert auch die Entwicklung von Strategien fuer die Endlagerung. Zwei Projekte werden derzeit verfolgt: die oberflaechennahe Endlagerung schwachaktiver und kurzlebiger Abfaelle und die geologische Endlagerung in Tongestein fuer langlebige und hochaktive Abfaelle (in verglaster Form oder in Form abgebrannten Brennstoffs). Entwicklung, Grundkonzept, gegenwaertiger Stand und kuenfitige Massnahmen werden fuer beide Projekte umrissen. Beruecksichtigt man nur die technischen Anforderungen, so koennte die oberflaechennahe Lagerung in 4 bis 5 Jahren und die geologische Endlagerung um das Jahr 2035 realisiert werden. (orig.)Journal
