| Abstract: | The isolation of nuclear wastes for at least thousands of years is an urgent world problem. It is an international problem, for in many nations with such wastes their geology is not suitable for long-term isolation. A lead geo-question involves which are the best host rocks, with guaranteed long-term low permeability and the best ion-exchange, redox systems for the capture, retention, of the most dangerous nuclides. In general mud rocks on land or the sea floor must be considered. |
