Abstract
The UK Government’s policy on nuclear power
states that it is a proven low-carbon technology for generating electricity and
should form part of the
Making a safety case for geological disposal is
a major scientific undertaking. National and international research programmes
have produced a good understanding of many of the mechanisms by which radionuclides might return to the human environment and of
their consequences once there. One of the outstanding challenges is how to deal
with the uncertainties inherent in geological systems and the evolution of a
repository over a long period of time. Several different approaches to the
treatment of uncertainty are being adopted, with some countries, including the
