When radioactive waste is disposed in a salt dome, it is important to evaluate the hydrologic stability of the dome. It depends on the dissolution rate of the dome, which again is determined by the transport and dispersion properties of the cap rock and the other formations surrounding the dome. The same properties are also required in safety assessment work for calculation of migration of radionuclides, which might be released from the dome to the surrounding strata.

Maps and cross sections are given, showing the development of geophysical and geological knowledge of the New Home and D’Lo domes. Both are shallow, piercement domes in the northern part of the Mississippi salt dome basin. Both were first indicated by gravity surveys, the shallow cap‐rock checked by refraction seismograph surveys, cap‐rock depths checked by drilling and further seismograph work and drilling then carried out to determine the position of the salt and the attitude of the sediments. The successive items of geophysical work and test drilling have led to a consistent and orderly development of information about these domes. An additional note is included, with three pairs of gravity maps, showing how strong and definite, but very local, gravity expressions of shallow domes may be missed by reconnaissance surveys.

ABSTRACTThe European Commission CAST project (CArbon-14 Source Term) aimed to develop understanding of the potential release mechanisms of carbon-14 (radiocarbon, 14C) from radioactive waste materials under conditions relevant to waste packaging and disposal to underground geological disposal facilities. The project focused on the release of carbon-14 as dissolved and gaseous species from irradiated metals (steels, Zircaloys), from spent ion-exchange materials and from irradiated graphites. This paper provides an overview of the CAST project and its output. It also acts as an introduction and scene-setter to the other papers in this special edition of Radiocarbon.
