No scientific or technical reason is known that would prevent identifying a site that is suitable for a repository provided that the systems view is utilized rigorously to evaluate the suitability of sites and designs, and in minimizing the influence of future human activities....The feasibility of safely disposing of high-level waste in mined repositories can only be assessed on the basis of specific investigations at and determinations of suitability of particular sites.
