Abstract

Recently we proposed [1] that high-level nuclear waste be deposited in very deep boreholes, filled with a substance of low melting temperature, of high density, not generating gases and water-insoluble.

The first paper outlined nuclear waste disposal in deep boreholes, discussions of physical and chemical processes in a filled borehole and preliminarily comments on the ecological safety of the disposal. The given paper covers some economical aspects of the new proposal as well as the principal steps of implementation of the R&D program.
