The subseabed disposal concept is the only alternative to 

 mined geologic repositories currently being funded by DOE. The 

 objective of the Subseabed Disposal Program is to assess the 

 feasibility of containment and isolation of high-level radio- 

 active waste within the stable geologic clay formation of the deep 

 ocean floor. Therefore, the MERL experiment did not directly 

 support the Subseabed Disposal Program.
