Abstract
A system and method to safely isolate mobile radioactive material during an emergency includes a borehole located in close proximity and at a depth sufficient to safely isolate the material and a man-made vertical-oriented gravity fracture located at the bottom end of the borehole. During an emergency, the mobile radioactive material enters the borehole and then passes from there into the gravity fracture. The mobile radioactive material may have sufficient density to further propagate the fracture vertically downward or a dense slurry or fluid could be mixed with the mobile radioactive material.
