Abstract
Deep-well disposal (injection) of hazardous chemical waste (DWWD) has been widely practiced around the world for many years (Tsang 1996; Clark et al. 2005; Tsang et al. 2008). It was proved that in many cases the DWWD technology is the only disposal option that effectively removes waste from the biosphere.
