From the publication:
SUMMARY The "demonstration" of the safe management of high level radioactive waste is often regarded as a prerequisite for the further development of nuclear energy programmes. It is therefore essential to be clear about both the meaning of the term "demonstration" and the practical means to satisfy this request, particularly ith respect to long term aspects of waste disposal. This document attempts to respond to these points and to define the background against which the issues involved should be considered. In the complex sequence of operations necessary to the safe management of high level waste, short term activities can be directly demonstrated in the sense that the successful operation of representative facilities constitutes adequate proof of their feasibility and safety. For longer term activities, such as the long term isolation of radioactive waste in deep underground structures, demonstration must be indirect.
