THE EUROPEAN Commission has released results from a research project examining the burial of radioactive waste in rock salt. The Bambus II project examined the design and construction of chambers, considering the effectiveness of materials in securing waste, including surrounding rock, the crushed salt and container metals. Researchers used in-situ investigations, laboratory experiments, forensic examinations, computer simulations and desk studies. *http://publications.eu.int/others/sales_agents_en.html
