- Abstract
- The geologic and hydrologic characteristics of low-level radioactive waste (LLRW) disposal sites in the eastern United States are reviewed in this technical report. Since North Carolina has been designated as the next host for a LLRW faciltiy by the Southeast Compact Commission, this information coupled with the geology/hydrology of North Carolina can be used in the identification of potential siting constraints. In North Carolina, engineered barriers will be incorporated into the selected LLRW technology. In this report concrete degradation mechanisms are reviewed. Based on this information, possible geologic/hydrologic constraints of siting a LLRW disposal facility in North Carolina are discussed.
