High Level Radioactive Waste Management (1995)

Proceedings of the Sixth Annual International Conference on High Level Radioactive Waste Management, held in Las Vegas, Nevada, April 30-May 5, 1995.

This collection contains 273 papers on current technical and social issues related to international high level radioactive waste management activities. Technical topics include the best form for the waste, the integrity of storage containers, and design and construction of a repository. Papers also explore broader social aspects of these issues such as conformance to regulations, transportation safety, and public education. The wider perspective on high level radioactive waste management demonstrates that the various disciplines involved in this field are interrelated and should be integrated in waste management activities.
