| Abstract | Safe, long-term disposal of nuclear wastes requires a thorough analysis of the interactions between all components in the proposed repository system. In their article entitled “Superior techniques for disposal of highly radioactive waste (HLW)”, published online in this journal January 26, 2012, the authors Pusch and Weston bring forward severe criticism on the methods our company, SKB, have chosen for disposal of spent nuclear fuel (SKB in Design premises for a KBS-3V repository based on results from the safety assessment SR-Can and some subsequent analyses. SKB TR-09-22, Svensk Kärnbränslehantering AB, Stockholm, Sweden, 2009; SKB in Design and production of the KBS-3 repository. SKB TR-10-12, Svensk Kärnbränslehantering AB, Stockholm, Sweden, 2010a; Thegerström and Olsson in 13th International High-Level Radioactive Waste Management Conference 2011 (IHLRWMC 2011), April 10–14, 2011. Albuquerque, NM Curran Associates, Inc. ISBN: 9781617828508, 2011) and therefore propose an alternative called KBS-3i, claimed to outperform the method favored by SKB, KBS-3V. We here argue that the authors overlook several effects of their proposed modifications of the disposal concept. The purpose of this reply is to clarify some misconceptions, correct factual errors and provide the interested reader a more nuanced description of the complexities involved in nuclear waste disposal. Here, we focus our reply on a few key topics. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
