| text | Specific to the deposition technology in Herfa-Neurode, Germany, in 2000. Well applicable to modern deposition practices in Europe. Three other underground deposits in old salt mines exist in Germany (Heilbronn, Zielitz, and Borth) and one in France (Wittelsheim). |
technology
Ordered, recorded and potentially retrievable deposition of various types of hazardous wastes (excluding radioactive, explosive, burnable, or infectious wastes) Multi barrier concept with
1.) ordered stacks of lined steel drums, steel containers or big bags,
2.) compartment brick walls between dissimilar waste types,
3.) 6m brick wall/anhydrite dam per large deposit field with approx 3.1 Mio. tons of waste,
4.) 48m dam against conventional potash mine,
5.) gravel and clay filling of the 800m access shaft after closure.
