Project Salt Vault

Over the last twenty years, significant research and development has been performed concerning the ultimate disposal mechanism for radioactive waste. In 1957, the National Academy of Sciences recommended that deep beds of bedded salt be considered as potential locations for the disposal of radioactive waste materials. Following this recommendation a program of research and development was undertaken by the Atomic Energy Commission (AEG) to explore this approach. The high point of this program was the operation of Project Salt Vault in an abandoned salt mine in Lyons, Kansas. [Pg.3]

The initial experiments conducted in Project Salt Vault were not extended to provide more detailed work. If it had been possible for this experiment to have continued to operate since 1970, we would definitely have a considerably greater amount of informa-... [Pg.3]
