The objective of geologic isolation of radioactive wastes is to preclude their reaching the biosphere until after they have decayed to the extent that they no longer constitute a health hazard. Concern over radioactive wastes from military, industrial and research uses has elicited many lines of commentary and deep concern from many individuals. In California, the concern about waste disposal was the focal point in establishing a moratorium on the construction of new reactors until a satisfactory waste disposal technology could be demonstrated.

The objective is to provide a waste disposal technology with the high pressure combustion in supercritical water which does not burden air and water with harmful effluents. The quality of this technology is that the wastes are completely mineralised to C02, water and salts. The products like CO, S02, NOx, dioxins, arsenic, mercury, etc., typical for incineration, are avoided only harmless end-products remain.
