eng Abstract:
A secure solution of nuclear power plants fuel cycle end is undoubtedly a great technical challenge facing all developed countries, using nuclear energy. High demands on safety performance target solutions are enhanced primarily by the requirement to actually "geological" life of the project period, which represents a period of about 100,000 years. Although currently is not implemented yet neither persistent storage, it is interesting to compare the solutions prepared in different countries from different aspects of natural conditions, structures, volume and time schedules or ongoing research programs. The subject paper is based on publicly available information sources, especially from the pu-blications and presentations at scientific conferences in the last 2 years.
