Extract

The German concept of high level waste final storage provides the use of certain glasses containing radioelement oxides as glass components. These waste forms are to be stored in rock salt formations in order to isolate the waste from the biosphere. The efficiency of this isolation is a most important question. The aim is to achieve a high safety standard that remains valid under extreme conditions such as the uncontrolled water entrance to the deposit.
