PROCEEDINGS 



It was agreed that the subject would be broken down into categor- 

 ies based on geologic environment, and the following four general 

 categories were set up: 



a. Surface excavations 



b. Infiltration into shallow permeable beds 



c. Natural and artificial excavations, including mines 



d. Artificial solution cavities (principally in salt) 



During the proceedings it was decided to include the cavities 

 in salt (category D) in category C. 



Surface excavations. The estimate of 1,000 gallons of waste per 

 day for a one megawatt reactor was used as a yardstick for all the 

 following discussions.
