A method for disposing of, confining, and isolating toxic waste material, which includes forming a plurality of housings underneath the surface of the earth. The housings are interconnected by a tunnel housing. At least one of the housings has a silo having a silo door that slidably opens and closes. The toxic waste is passed through the silo, through the silo housing and the tunnel housing, and into the other subterranean housing wherein the toxic waste is disposed. The silo door is then closed in order to enclose, confine, and isolate the toxic waste material. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The present invention accomplishes its desired objects by broadly providing a method for disposing of, confining, and isolating toxic waste material.
Initially, a pair of subterranean excavations are formed and are interconnected with a subterranean tunnel.
A subterranean housing means is formed and positioned within one of the subterranean excavations.
Similarly, another subterranean housing means is formed within the other subterranean excavation.
One of the subterranean housing means has a silo means extending to the surface of the earth.
The silo means has a silo door that can slidably close and open to expose the inside of the silo means to the atmosphere.
A tunnel housing means is extended through the subterranean tunnel from one subterranean housing means to the other subterranean housing means.
The silo door means is open in order to expose the silo means and the attached subterranean housing means to the atmosphere.
Toxic waste material (e.
g.
nuclear waste and the like) is passed through the silo means, through the attached housing means, through the tunnel housing means, and into the other subterranean housing means that communicates with the tunnel housing means.
The toxic waste material is disposed or positioned in the latter subterranean housing means.
Subsequently, the silo door means is closed in order to enclose, confine, and isolate the toxic waste material.
Typically, the pair of subterranean housing means and the tunnel housing are filled with toxic waste in a sequential manner.
More specifically, when one of the subterranean housing means is initially filled, then the tunnel means is initially filled, followed by the other housing means.
After the pair of housing means and the tunnel housing means are full of toxic waste material, the silo means is filled with a filler (e.
g.
concrete or the like) in order to further enclose, confine, and isolate the toxic waste material and to protect the environment therefrom.
After the silo means has been filled with the filler, the silo door means is closed to seal off the filler from the atmosphere
