Construction 2015- 2034,
Operations timeline 2035 - 2064.
CANADA: Deep Geologic Repository mine
Cost $4.1 Billion.
High-Level Waste Capacity - 6,500 MT.
Construction time 2004 - 2020.
Similar System in SWEDEN
FINLAND: Shallow mine disposal
Shallow, near surface tunnels in Yucca Mt.
$97 Billion total life costs (2007$).
Still undecided future,
Significant national, local and political resistance.
USA: Single source solution
Very limited capacity in vertical wellbore.
Extreme weight concentration on bottom
capsules in lower sections of wellbore creates
potential safety problems.
Vertical wellbore storage
Temporary, unsafe, concrete pad with wire fence,
Limited Capacity,
Terrorist attack prone.
$224,000,000 cost for a few years.
Surface Cask Storage
Automatic, remotely controlled,
built-in safety systems, versatile, economic
scalable, easily and rapidly deployable.

UDGR™ is better,
more advanced,
more economical, 100,000-year safety guarantee,
universally accepted.
Compared to Yucca Mt.
We are a nuclear waste disposal enterprise focused on the discovery, development, implementation and commercialization of innovative technologies intended to safely and economically resolve the worldwide problems of nuclear waste disposal.
We are People Protecting the Planet™
NST does not process nuclear material. Nuclear companies do that. We design the waste capsules. We drill the repository. We dispose of the HLW capsules.
