Very long-term isolation of nuclear waste in deep geological formations is the final approach in nuclear waste management. Deep geological formations provide protection of engineered barriers and significantly delays in the development of potential impacts upon the failure of engineered barriers. This chapter describes key desired characteristics of a geologic disposal system in terms of physical and chemical properties of rocks as part of the discussion of disposal site selection process.
