SITING POTENTIAL OF THE RUSSIAN TERRITORY FOR RW STORAGE FACILITIES IN DEEP VERTICAL BOREHOLES

The paper evaluates the territory of Russia in terms of its siting potential for RW storage facilities designed based on the deep borehole disposal method. It proposes the geological criteria that can be used to select potential areas specified based on the safety assessment of borehole storage facilities constructed at great depths and presents a general layout of candidate territories in Russia.

Keywords: radioactive waste, borehole disposal concept, site selection, geological criteria.
