Extra precautions... need to be taken when dry cutting, some of which are related to silica dust and some of which have to do with preventing the diamond blade from overheating.... Dry blades usually have slats cut out around the edge to promote air cooling of the blade, but this is never as effective as water cooling. Because of this, dry cuts can only be made in short, shallow passes... 1, record 1, English, - dry%20cut

Different disposal modules are used in some places for specific purposes. Pits are used for disposal of bulky, non-compactible wastes such as tanks, piping and large items of equipment. As the pit is filled, the disposed wastes are backfilled and covered with soil or concrete.

The concept [burying the waste deep underground in the Canadian Shield] isolates used fuel from the environment using a series of natural as well as manmade barriers. Used nuclear fuel bundles would be contained in vaults 500 to 1,000 metres below ground. These vaults would consist of a network of tunnels and disposal rooms about 2 kilometres by 2 kilometres that could hold 191,000 tonnes of used fuel. 5, record 4, English, - disposal%20module

Typically, each [shallow land burial] trench has a sloping floor cut into the natural soil and a French drain of gravel down one of the long sides. The trench bottom is covered with a foot or two of sand to allow water to flow freely into the French drain, especially when the trench is open during operations. Sampling pipes or tubes are placed against the trench wall, with their lower ends in the French drain, when the trench is dug. Monitoring of each disposal unit(engineered trench) is accomplished by sampling any water found in the French drain through these tubes and analyzing its contents. 4, record 4, English, - disposal%20module

... the aboveground vault is a large steel-reinforced concrete structure with vertical access (through an open top) for placement of the waste.

Typically, each [shallow land burial] trench has a sloping floor cut into the natural soil and a french drain of gravel down one of the long sides. The trench bottom is covered with a foot or two of sand to allow water to flow freely into the french drain, especially when the trench is open during operations. Sampling pipes or tubes are placed against the trench wall, with their lower ends in the french drain, when the trench is dug. Monitoring of each disposal unit(engineered trench) is accomplished by sampling any water found in the french drain through these tubes and analyzing its contents. Sampling wells are placed around the perimeter of the facility, and elsewhere if desired, and air sampling is conducted at least until the end of the operations. 1, record 14, English, - sampling%20well
