Geological disposal has been proposed as the solution for managing the most radioactive nuclear wastes. These wastes stay hazardous for periods better measured in geological rather than human time. This challenges the capacity of science to accurately predict the future evolution and safety of geological disposal facilities. Thus nuclear waste mana...
Radioactive waste management (RWM) is a complex challenge, spanning various timeframes and societal domains, ranging from the technical, to the social, political and economic. As such, it has also attracted substantial attention from the social sciences. This article reviews social scientific engagement with RWM over the past two decades (2000-2019...

... High-level radioactive waste (HLW) stored in a deep rock mass can be effectively isolated from human living environments through engineering and geological barriers of a deep geological repository (Hietala 2021;Wang 2014;. The deep granite has long been believed to be the ideal geological barrier of the deep geological repository for HLW because of its high strength, excellent integrity, and reduced permeability (Chopra et al. 2015;Soler et al. 2015;Souley et al. 2001;Young et al. 2020). ...
... Ethical issues related to NWM have been examined in social sciences since the 1970s (Hietala & Geysmans, 2020;Solomon et al., 2010). This has included research on ethical considerations in the perceptions of community residents, leaders, and the general public (Krütli et al., 2015;Stefanelli et al., 2017;Vilhunen et al., 2019). ...
