... seepage pits which were used for dilute aqueous wastes have resulted in a contaminant plume of considerable volume. This leads to the fundamental decision that only solidified wastes will be considered for disposal. Experience with an early trench with a nonreinforced concrete cap, which collapsed and led to its flooding, illustrated the need for a strong, self-supporting cap as well as a permeable floor. Contaminant plumes have provided the opportunity to measure groundwater flow and radionuclide transport and to determine retardation coefficients for the different radionuclides under field conditions.

L'océan offre deux possibilités d'évacuation des déchets radioactifs : soit qu'on le considère comme un milieu de dilution (déversement direct de déchets radioactifs liquides dans les eaux côtières), soit qu'on l'utilise comme zone d'isolement temporaire permettant la décroissance de la radioactivité (immersion d'enveloppes indestructibles de déchets solides). 2, record 14, French, - d%C3%A9chet%20dilu%C3%A9
