For both caverns and tunnels, excavation is from the central tunnel ways using conventional mining techniques. In the tunnel concept ..., the prepackaged wastes are lowered down the shaft and brought to the emplacement vaults by rail. The packages are then unloaded by forklifts or other conventional container handling equipment and emplaced for permanent disposal. The cavern concept implements a secondary haulage system where packaged wastes are transferred from rail to the emplacement vaults by overhead crane. 2, record 10, English, - tunnel

The Konrad mine has some geological features which make it very suitable for disposal of certain types of radioactive waste. ...

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. 3, record 10, English, - tunnel
