He defined the intermediate scale facility as something larger than merely a research-and-development facility, furnishing a full test of technical and engineering aspects of getting rid of atomic wastes. | The main “candidate” for that is the Waste Isolation Pilot Project site at Carlsbad, N.M., Deutch told reporters. Whether salt, basalt or granite sites are best is not really a matterof the materials as much as it is a question of the geologic character of the specific site, Deutch said. Possible earthquakes, characteristics of water in the area, and other factors — “the geologic context — should determine the choice, he explained. Because the public’s confidence is essential, Deutch said, officials should seek a “social consensus” on disposal techniques, by layingout the scientific information, giving scientists a chance at thorough and independent review, providing practical experience, and leaving room for corrections.
