Solving a Wicked Problem in Deep Time: Nuclear Waste Disposal

Nuclear waste disposal.

-Experiments are described in which dose-response data have been obtained for EMT6 mouse tumour cells growing in vivo and exposed to various cytotoxic agents. A comparison has been made of the response of solid tumours in the flank and of rapidly growing lung nodules. The results are discussed with regard to their cell kinetic implications and compared with our results for the chemosensitivity ...

Deep borehole disposal of nuclear waste: engineering challenges

In recent years, geological disposal of radioactive waste has focused on placement of highand intermediate-level wastes in mined underground caverns at depths of 500–800 m. Notwithstanding the billions of dollars spent to date on this approach, the difficulty of finding suitable sites and demonstrating to the public and regulators that a robust safety case can be developed has frustrated attemp...

Solving Solid Waste Disposal Problems

firehouse, technical assistance could be solicited. For example, the county supervisor of the Farmers Home Administration might be called in to discuss that agency's requirements regarding financing for public water and waste disposal facilities. Farmers Home is authorized to provide financial assistance to rural "associations" for the purpose of installing community domestic water and waste sy...
