Reviews
From the reviews:
"Flüeler provides one of the most extensive bibliographies, which he conveniently organizes into a number of useful categories for those who are conducting research in this area. His extensive experience with how this issue was dealt with in Switzerland over a 50-y period along with examples from a variety of other countries is well documented. … This text would be valuable for those specialists who are directly involved in dealing with the issue of radioactive waste … ."
