Description
Radioactive waste is a waste product generated from all stages of the nuclear fuel cycle, industrial applications, medical and research users which must be managed safely for protection against humans and the environment especially nuclear waste transfer. Liquefaction is one of the most destructive types of geological disasters due to an earthquake. Liquefaction can result in subsidence or slope of the building, relative displacement between adjacent buildings resulting in a loss of integrity, or relative displacement between the building and underground pipes and cables which can result in damage to these communication lines. One of the main issues that should be considered in placing waste heat into clay is the possible increase in water pressure. The disposal site for Near Surface installation must be sufficiently above the water level so that groundwater intrusion, perpetual or otherwise, into the waste will not occur as a typical of radioactive waste stream having dangerous material such organic liquids and solids. Information on geology, seismology and site hydrology must be sufficiently detailed to determine the site's feasibility as a Near Surface Disposal area. The Liquefaction Potential Index study estimates the liquefaction potential in the Bishkek, Kyrgistan shows that with an amax of 0.35 g it produces an FS value above one and LPI 0, meaning zero liquefaction at point 1149. This area is ideal as a Near Surface Disposal facility location because it has depth groundwater of 45 - 132 m, so it is safe from potential groundwater intrusion and is categorized as hard soil.
