The Given

ABSTRACTRecently we proposed [1] that high-level nuclear waste be deposited in very deep boreholes, filled with a substance of low melting temperature, of high density, not generating gases and water-insoluble.The first paper outlined nuclear waste disposal in deep boreholes, discussions of physical and chemical processes in a filled borehole and preliminarily comments on the ecological safety of the disposal. The given paper covers some economical aspects of the new proposal as well as the principal steps of implementation of the R&D program.

ABSTRACTThe best possibility for gaining an understanding of the likely future behavior of a high level nuclear waste disposal system is use of the scientific method. However, the scientific approach has inherent limitations when it comes to making long-term predictions with confidence. This paper examines these limiting factors as well as the criteria for admissibility of scientific evidence in the legal arena, and concludes that the prospects are doubtful for successful licensing of a potential repository under the regulations that were binding until recently. Suggestions are made for remedying this situation.
