Description
Waste is enclosed within stainless-steel drums or flasks, with a variety of dimensions. Depending on their dimensions, 4 to 18 packages are placed in a concrete emplacement container. The containers are backfilled with gas permeable mortar to provide venting of internally generated gas, to avoid overpressurisation and structural damage.
