Summary of parameters and measurement techniques for the selection, characterization, and monitoring of low-level waste-disposal site

This report summarizes the parameters and measurement techniques needed for the proper selection, characterization and monitoring of a low-level waste disposal site. The parameters needed are identified and prioritized according to their relative importance. Current measurement techniques for these parameters are assessed in terms of how well established they are in practice and how much difficulty their implementation presents. The report includes parameters important in both preoperational characterization and operational and post-closure monitoring.
