Cover Story: Nuclear waste can be disposed in deep horizontal drillholes. The waste canisters are made of highly corrosion-resistant alloys. The performance of these canisters is evaluated based on the evolution of temperature and chemistry. Canisters remain perforation-free for 50,000 years, providing an effective barrier in addition to the geologic formation. View this paper.
