Deep-Mined Geological Disposal Of Radioactive Waste
August 2016, Vol. 12, No. 4
The construction of geological disposal facilities for radioactive waste has been a long time in the discussion and planning, but will become a major focus of geological, mineralogical, and geochemical effort in coming years. Underground laboratories have been operating for many years in a variety of rock types. A number of national projects that will dispose of heat-producing waste are nearing the licencing stage: sites have been selected, and planning is moving forward in many countries. Geological disposal raises complex technical issues, but it is also at the centre of social and political controversy. Different countries have very different waste inventories and quantities of waste; they may also have different geological settings available to host a repository. The issue of Elements presents case studies of the concepts for repositories hosted in the range of possible host rocks that have been considered worldwide. The varied approaches to selecting a site that is acceptable to local communities will be reviewed.

Glasses And Melts: Linking Geochemistry And Materials Science, October 2006, Vol. 2, No. 5
$20.00Geological interest in studying melts stems from early recognition that melts play a fundamental role in determining the physical and chemical behaviour of magmas and magmatic processes. However, due to the inherent difficulties associated with working at high temperatures, much of the geological research over the last 30 years has used quenched melts or glasses as proxies for melts themselves.
