From the publication:

One of the options suggested for disposal of high-level radioactive waste resulting
from the generation of nuclear power is burial beneath the deep ocean floor in
geologically stable sediment formations which have no economic value.

The 8-volume series provides an assessment of the technical feasibility and
radiological safety of this disposal concept based on the results obtained
by ten years of co-operation and information exchange among the Member
countries participating in the NEA Seabed Working Group.

This report summarizes work performed to develop and evaluate engineering
methods of emplacing high level radioactive waste in stable, deep ocean sediments.
It includes results of desktop studies, laboratory experiments and field tests
conducted in deep water.
