Geology of Some United Kingdom Nuclear Sites Related to the Disposal of Low and Medium Level Radioactive Wastes. Part 2: CEGB And SSEB Sites

摘要

The geological sequences beneath a further twelve nuclear sites in Britain are predicted from available data. Formations that are potentially suitable hosts for low and medium-level radioactive waste are identified and their relative merits assessed. Of the sites investigated, formations beneath six afford little or no potential, formations beneath a further 4 offer only moderate potential and sites underlain by the most favourable formations are Dungeness and Hinkley Point.
