Popis: Since 1997 MosNPO “Radon” has been testing large diameter wells (LDW) as low and intermediate level waste (LILW) repositories. If waste is deposited below the frost zone damage to engineered barriers due to climatic factors is practically impossible. Construction of the repository by means of drilling prevents large disturbances of the host rocks, as it might happen during excavation work. When LDW are used, the usage factor which is the ratio of repository surface area (natural barrier) to total repository surface area is about 1, as almost all the surface of the repository is covered with host rocks.
