Uncertainty Underground
Experts from science, industry, and government discuss the unresolved scientific and technical issues surrounding the Yucca Mountain site as a geologic repository for high-level nuclear waste.
Radioactive Waste Forms for the Future
This volume presents a compilation of important information on the full range of radioactive waste forms that have been developed, or at least suggested, for the incorporation of high-level nuclear waste. Many of the results were published in the ''gray literature'' of final reports of national laboratories or in various, generally less available, proceedings volumes. This is the first publication to draw information on nuclear waste forms for high-level wastes together into a single volume. Although borosilicate glass has become the standard waste form, additional research in this compound is still necessary. With improved technology (particularly processing technologies) and with a more de...
Microstructural Processes in Irradiated Materials:
Radiation can produce dramatic improvements or degradation in the properties of materials, so an understanding of the microstructural changes that occur during irradiation is critical for the development of predictive models. This book, first published in 2001, brings together researchers working on different materials systems so that similarities and differences in radiation effects can be compared. More specifically, it focuses on the microstructural changes which occur in solids during irradiation with ions, electrons, neutrons, gamma rays and X-rays. Materials of interest include metals, intermetallics, semiconductors, insulators and superconductors. Papers from a joint session on 'Multiscale Modelling of Materials' as well as experimental and theoretical studies are also included. Topics include: semiconductors; fundamentals of radiation effects in electronic materials, ceramics and polymers; ceramics and nuclear waste materials; austenitic and reactor pressure vessel steels; fundamental aspects of defect production and microstructure evolution in metals; and modelling radiation effects in metals.
Energy, Waste and the Environment
This book provides incentives for further development of sustainable fuel cycles through a novel and interdisciplinary approach to an Earth science-related topic. The main focus is on geochemical concepts in immobilizing, isolating or neutralizing waste derived from energy production and consumption. The book also addresses the issue of using some types of energy-derived waste as alternative raw materials. Moreover, it highlights research on how certain wastes can be used for energy production, an increasingly important aspect of modern integrated waste management strategies. The main objectives are to: (a) identify the most serious environmental problems related to various types of power generation and associated waste accumulation; (b) present strategies, based on natural analogue materials, for the immobilization of toxic and radioactive waste components through mineralogical barriers; (c) discuss modern procedures for reuse of waste or certain waste components; and (d) review the importance of geochemical modelling in describing and predicting the interaction between waste and the environment.

Ageing Studies and Lifetime Extension of Materials
The first International Conference on Ageing Studies and Lifetime Extension of Materials was held on th July 12-14 , 1999 at St. Catherine's College, Oxford, United Kingdom. Over 230 delegates attended during the three days and heard nearly ninety papers, together with over thirty poster presentations. Sixteen of these papers were keynotes from invited speakers eminent in their field of research. The proceedings were organised into six separate sessions: observation and understanding of real-time and accelerated ageing; experimental techniques; modelling and theoretical studies; lifetime prediction and validation; lifetime extension; and material design for ageing. In doing this, it was hope...
