Scientists examine the standards for safe nuclear waste disposal
As policymakers consider the alternative to Yucca Mountain as a repository for nuclear waste, Edward Blandford, Rodney Ewing, and Robert Budnitz explore in Nuclear News new standards for waste disposal. Among the key questions: should regulations require safety for a 1-million-year period? The article is based on a June workshop on the subject hosted by CISAC.
