Informational Materials on High-Level Waste Disposal

Many links on this page are to documents in Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF). See our Plugins, Viewers, and Other Tools page for more information. For successful viewing of PDF documents on our site please be sure to use the latest version of Adobe.

Several posters and information sheets are available. Some posters are two-sided and address a single topic or idea. One side of these posters graphically displays the information. The other side provides additional written information on the topic. These posters were originally printed on 11 x 17 paper; thus printing the files to most printers may cause the readability of the poster to be reduced. Other posters are only one-sided and consist of a graphic image.
