Scientific paper

Technical problems and costs are outlined for the disposal of radioactive waste. Options discussed include : (1) Storage on the surface of a celestial body (Earth, planets, Sun, Moon), (2) undirected disposal (in the sea, random escape from the solar system), and (3) Storage in space (in Earth orbit, other orbits, or outside the solar system, directly, or using the swingby technique). Costs versus velocity requirements for various orbits are shown for expendable and reusable shuttles, both liquid and solid fuelled. The safety aspects are mentioned.
