The used fuel (itself in water-resistant ceramic fuel pellets, sealed inside zirconium-alloy tubes) would be encased within corrosion-resistant titanium containers. The containers would be surrounded by seals made of swelling clay. The room would then be backfilled with a mixture of clay and sand materials, and eventually the shafts and tunnels would also be sealed. 1, record 1, English, - water%2Dresistant%20ceramic%20fuel%20pellet
