In the event of an earthquake, how would the barriers and protective liners of (both artificial and natural) respond?
The embankment has been designed to withstand earthquakes. It has been demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Division of Radiation Control that the wastes will be isolated, even in the event of multiple adverse conditions, including earthquakes. It is the superior characteristics of the Clive location (low precipitation, high evaporation, non-usable groundwater), which provides the greatest protection to the public and the environment from releases of radioactivity. (See Division of Radiation Control Safety Evaluation Report.) Technical What is class B waste? What is it actually and how radioactive is it? Class B Waste is any material that has certain isotopes and certain concentrations of radionuclides. Class B waste contains higher concentrations of relatively short half-life radionuclides than would be acceptable as Class A waste. Class B waste must be in a waste matrix or container that is resistant to degradation. Resistance to degradation or collapse is important because it can
