ABSTRACT:
Radioactive waste material is permanently stored without the need of constant surveillance by depositing the material in a cavity located in a rock formation above the water table and between two layers of water impervious rock. Preferably the entrance to the cavity is located in a mountainside or bluff in a layer between the two water impervious layers, which layer is more easily penetrable than the two water impervious layers. The cavity may include a passage which is reinforced with a reinforcement material such as concrete and is surrounded by a plurality of boreholes to aid in dissipating the heat of decay.
