Nuclear power is strategically and quantitatively an important contributor to global electricity
generation capacity and produces a small amount of potentially highly hazardous wastes …

Storage of energy-related products in the geological subsurface provides reserve capacity,
resilience, and security to the energy supply chain. Sequestration of energy-related products …

A reference design and operational procedures for the disposal of high-level radioactive
waste in deep boreholes have been developed and documented. The design and …

In recent years, geological disposal of radioactive waste has focused on placement of high-
and intermediate-level wastes in mined underground caverns at depths of 500–800 m …

Large diameter boreholes drilled to a depth of 1000–2000 m are currently investigated in
Australia as a potential solution for waste emplacement and long-term containment for long …

We use surface-modified graphite nanoplatelets (GNPs) to engineer cement materials at the
nanoscale to effectively tailor their macroscale crucial mechanical properties suitable for …

We consider the disposal of spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste in horizontal
holes drilled into deep, low-permeable geologic formations using directional drilling …

Spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste can be disposed in deep horizontal
drillholes in sedimentary, metamorphic or igneous rocks. Horizontal drillhole disposal has …

A new approach to nuclear disarmament, nonproliferation, and the prevention of nuclear
terrorism that focuses on controlling the production and stockpiling of nuclear materials …

This paper presents a high-level overview of site characterization, risk analysis and
monitoring priorities for underground energy-related product storage or sequestration …
