ABSTRACT
On the one hand, bedded salt provides a simple geological structure and a robust multi-barrier system due to the following reasons: The natural, undisturbed geological layering with watertight insoluble claystone layers above the soluble salt rocks combines the advantages of salt and claystone concepts for the disposal of heat-generating nuclear waste. Salt domes, on the other hand, have a huge basement salt thickness particularly suitable for borehole emplacement.
