摘要

Public safety and acceptance, and environmental safety are two common and closely related global cornerstones for the successful development of a deep geological repository for safe disposal of longlived radioactive materials/wastesa (LLRM)(1,2). Unfortunately, lack of public trust and fear of the unknown are two primary reasons for hindered progress and abundant opposition to LLRM repository developments. As a case in point, despite more than 40 years of focused efforts around the world, the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) in New Mexico, United States of America (USA), is the only operating deep geological repository for LLRM at the end of year 2000. The WIPP repository was certified (3) for safe disposal of LLRM and permitted (4) for safe disposal of regulated hazardous constituents mixed with the LLRM by two independent regulators in 1998 and 1999, respectively, and it opened in March 1999. The world's next deep geological LLRM repository is scheduled to open in year 2010 (5). As follows, the costly and seemingly endless search for safe LLRM repositories continues both in the USA and abroad. Thus, any variation to the current strategy that might enhance LLRM repository progress must be carefully considered, provided the solution is: 1. Scientifically and technically sound; 2. Fulfilling ethical and financial commitments to both current and future generations; and 3. Presented in unambiguous context and readily understood manner. Two geological-disposal-related concepts currently being promoted as contributing to safety around the world are “retrieval” and “recovery” of the emplaced LLRM (e.g.,6,7). However, in the USA, these concept are fundamentally different (8,9), a fact that appears to be largely unrecognized. The retrievability concept involves ready access to the LLRMs emplaced in a deep geological repository during (and about 50 years after) the operational period to safeguard against any unexpected adverse conditions (8). The recovery concept involves the fundamental ethical and financial consideration that future generations should not be precluded access to the emplaced LLRM as a potential resource (2,9). Thus, two credibility issues associated with these concepts are: 1. Do they contribute to repository performance in terms of safety? 2. Do they need to be better defined such that the distinction between the two concepts is clear? Based on a preliminary analysis, the conclusions of the author are: 1. Neither retrievability nor recoverability contributes to the safe performance of a deep geological repository for LLRM, indeed they may decrease post-closure safety. 2. A clear distinction needs to be made between the retrievability and recoverability concepts to avoid misunderstandings, misrepresentations, and loss of an already fragile public confidence in (a) the credibility of the radioactive waste management community; and (b) the feasibility of deep geological disposal of LLRM.
