1982 - Volume 24, Issue 2 | by Marshall, W. (UKAEA Headquarters, London)
The UK strategy for the management of high-level radioactive wastes from nuclear power stations and reprocessing plants is: to solidify the waste by turning it into glass blocks. To store the glass blocks until they have cooled sufficiently, perhaps 50 to 100 years and maybe
