Study: Estonia's Geology Holds Promise for Nuclear Waste Disposal


Share:
LONDON, Feb. 1, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ A new Deep Isolation study commissioned by advanced reactor deployment company Fermi Energia discusses the potential suitability of areas in Estonia considered for siting a deep horizontal borehole repository for nuclear waste. This preliminary study found no fundamental geologic limitations to disposing of nuclear waste in deep horizontal boreholes and that a wide range of locations could be demonstrated to comply with IAEA Safety Regulations for geologic disposal.
The study is a qualitative geological assessment of Estonia s crystalline basement rock that evaluates geological conditions and potential risk factors for Estonia s 15 counties, screening their potential for hosting a deep borehole repository. Such a repository would isolate radioactive elements from the Earth s surface for 1.3 million years. At that point, any elements that might reach the surface would be three orders of magnitude below levels deemed safe and ....
