Extract

The increased emphasis put upon disposal of HLW in recent years led to the growth of large numbers of research programmes in many countries. Many results of this research have flowed into projects developing and analysing geologic repository concepts; the basic feasibility of implementing safe disposal facilities is now generally accepted by the technical community (though not always by the public!)
