Evaluation of a near-surface low-level radioactive waste disposal facility for the state of Missouri
Abstract
"A low-level radioactive waste disposal facility for the state of Missouri Is designed. The proposed facility Is to be placed in a mined opening within a Precambrian granite outcrop in southeastern Missouri.
A safety assessment of the proposed facility was performed. The method used was fault tree analysis.
The threat of seismic activity within the region ls seen to be the main determent to the proposed design. Groundwater modelling was not possible due to a lack of data.
The facility design Includes a provision for the retrieval of the low-level waste once the waste has decayed to acceptable levels"-- Abstract, p. ii
