Question

Identify 3 characteristics that would be taken into consideration when evaluating any proposed site for a national repository of nuclear waste.

Answer 1

Answer:

• Proximity to water bed/water source
• Geographical isolation and barriers
• unavailability of plant or any biosystem

Explanation:

A nuclear repository would be required to be isolated with barriers in place to keep people out. Ideally, it should be stored underground and away from any underlying waterways, or biosystems so as to avoid contamination. A good example would be the proposed Yucca Mountain repository.
