Engineered Barriers

The current strategy for the permanent isolation of nuclear wastes in the United States involves the storage of these wastes within repositories mined in deep geologic formations. In this disposal strategy, the isolation of nuclear wastes relies on a series of natural and engineered barriers to prevent the unacceptable release of radionuclides to the accessible environment. An integral part of the development of a qualified subsurface nuclear waste repository, therefore, is the assessment of the ability of these barriers to adequately prevent or retard the migration of radionuclides to the accessible environment. The Basalt Waste Isolation Project (BWIP) under guidance from the Department of Energy (DOE) is investigating the feasibility of storing nuclear w-stes in the basalts beneath the Hanford Site.
