The storage of radioactive waste in a special facility in such a way that it remains retrievable. [Definition standardized by ISO.] 2, record 1, English, - storage
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Storage is a temporary method of management using containment and isolation in a manner that incorporates provision for retrieval and that relies on the continued need for human intervention and surveillance, whether this be for monitoring, maintenance, treatment, or restriction of public access. 5, record 1, English, - storage

The debate essentially concerns the distinction between storage and disposal. "Storage" involves the retrievability, monitoring, and ongoing institutional control of wastes. It also includes active elements of waste management in such a waste facility (e.g., leachate collection and treatment). By contrast, the concept of disposal assumes that a waste management facility can be designed in such a way that there will be no need for such measures. 5, record 1, English, - storage

The simplest form of engineered trench, or shallow land burial, relies mainly on the properties of the excavated overburden and the geohydrologic properties of the site for containment. The intent is to ensure that the travel time of radionuclides from the waste to the human environment via groundwater is long compared to the nuclide half lives. Travel time is long because of low hydraulic gradients, soils of low water permeability and high contaminant adsorption, and lengthy pathways across exclusion zones. 4, record 5, English, - trench

Illustration of a shallow land burial facility (engineered trench). ... Figure 9 outlines the engineered trench option. In this option, the major characteristics are that: . wastes are placed below grade (in suitable hydrogeological conditions) in trenches having a specially prepared bottom that incorporates a drainage system; . there is an earthen cover over the wastes that easily can incorporate additional engineered barriers; . structural stability is not provided by the disposal facility; and . for structural stability, voids between the waste containers are filled with sans or earthen materials - bulk wastes may be compacted. 5, record 5, English, - trench
Record number: 5, Textual support number: 3 CONT
Shallow-land burial in trenches was the original low-level waste disposal practice at the beginning of the nuclear era. The method originally consisted in emplacing the wastes in trenches dug into the ground at depths ranging from 3 to 6 m and covering the emplaced wastes with about 1 m of soil. 1, record 5, English, - trench
Record number: 5, Textual support number: 4 CONT
Burial trenches without additional engineered barriers can be used provided that radionuclides will migrate into groundwater beneath the site at an acceptable rate. 1, record 5, English, - trench

Drainage systems ... The major channels are generally open drains, or ditches, but on each farm closed, or covered, drains are used. Open drains are relatively inexpensive to install, and can carry larger amounts of water.

Excavations for the cut-off trench began on June 1, and were completed by the end of the month. Suitable material excavated from the trench was placed in the embankment. Following excavation of the trench, the cut-off wall footing was cut into bedrock to a depth of three feet. Placement of the cut-off wall followed excavation of the footing and was completed by the end of july. The cut-off wall extends across the bottom of the trench and up both abutments and provides a water-tight seal between the dam and foundation. 2, record 18, English, - cutoff%20trench

Foamed Concrete is an ideal material for trench reinstatement (this is the filling of trenches dug in roads when pipes are laid or repairs are carried out). The traditional methods of filling trenches in roads, i.e. the use of granular fill materials, results in the settlement and damage to both the road and the pipes. With Foamed Concrete there is no settlement; and because Foamed Concrete is very fluid it will fill any voids and cavities in the trench. 3, record 19, English, - trench%20reinstatement

Figure 6.1 illustrates a typical open disposal trench at the Barnwell facility. The trench floor is sloped slightly and covered with a layer of sand to facilitate collection of percolating water in a french drain. A number of pipes allow any water that may collect in the french drain to be removed and analyzed. Presently waste, primarily in boxes, drums and cask liners, is stacked neatly in the trench, starting at the high end and progressing toward the low end. High specific activity waste is usually placed at the bottom of the trench. A separate narrower shielded trench is used at Barnwell for waste that has very high dose rates at the package surface. As the level of the waste reaches the design level, 2 m below grade, a layer of dry soil is added and allowed to filter down between the waste containers. When a trench is filled, it is covered with a cap of at least 0.6 m of compacted native clay, followed by at least 0.9 m of soil. 2, record 20, English, - open%20storage%20trench
