... Salt Vault was designed and conducted at the carey salt Mine near Lfons, Kansas in the 1960's, using irra- diated fuel elements as a simulant for reprocessing calcined solidified wastes (Bradshaw and McClain, 1971). This study was followed by a conceptual repository design for the bedded salt lithology...

... Before final storage the waste cylinders are encapsulated in canisters of 10 cm lead and 6 mm titanium, in a special facility. Final Repository In the final repository, the encapsulated waste is received for final disposal. The repository is situated in crystalline rock at a depth of about 500 meters...

Calculations of heat balance, thermal effects, clay barrier function and costs have been performed. One repository (Fig...
