Geological Repository Systems for Safe Disposal of Spent Nuclear Fuels and Radioactive Waste, second edition, edited by Michael J. Apted and Joonhong Ahn. This publication reviews state-of-the-art technologies and scientific methods related to the implementation of various approaches to the safe, long-term disposition of nuclear waste. Part One provides an introduction to the geological disposal of spent fuel and radioactive waste; Part Two addresses the different types of repository systems; Part Three discusses various aspects of engineered barrier systems; and Parts Four and Five focus on safety, security, radiation protection, regulatory methodologies, environmental monitoring, and social engagement. This second edition contains 25 percent more material than the original edition on topics of current importance, with updated coverage of both near-surface/intermediate depth and deep borehole disposal.
