Description/Abstract | The proposed safety standards for commercial nuclear waste management are examined and shown to be Promethean; that is, they are shown to be dominated by time and care for future generations.^Some of the long-term environmental impact assessment methodologies being developed in commmercial waste management are examined.^They are aimed at demonstrating repository isolation integrity over a 10,000-year period or 300 human generations, a truly Promethean period of examination unknown in other 20th Century technical analyses. |
