Repositories for Disposal of High-level Radioactive Waste

Repositories for disposal of high-level radioactive waste are specialized facilities designed to safely contain and isolate radioactive materials from the environment for thousands of years. These repositories are typically deep underground in stable geological formations, preventing the spread of radiation and protecting people and ecosystems. The waste, often from nuclear reactors, is carefully stored in robust containers to ensure long-term safety. The goal is to manage the waste securely, reduce potential health and environmental risks, and provide a permanent solution to radioactive waste management.
