Progress Towards Geologic Disposal of Radioactive Waste:
Where Do We Stand?

Radioactive wastes of all kinds need to be managed responsibly to ensure public
safety and protection of the environment, as well as security from malicious
intervention, now and in the future. The most challenging task involves management
of the long-lived waste that must be isolated from the human environment for many
thousands of years. The preferred option for eventual disposal is emplacement in
repositories deep underground in well-chosen geologic media.

This report presents an expert assessment of developments in the field of deep
geologic disposal of radioactive waste over the past ten years. It reviews both
technical and societal aspects, and should be of interest to decision makers
responsible for radioactive waste management as well as to interested groups
and individuals.
