| Abstract |
This guide addresses the safety issues relevant to the disposal of disused sealed sources and provides guidance on meeting the safety requirements and criteria for such facilities. In addition to making recommendations on safety for borehole facilities, such as in site selection and characterization, design and operation, and for closure and post-closure, it also covers provision for containment and isolation, and the performance requirements of the engineered components of the disposal system. |
