Papers reviewed herein present a general overview of radioactive waste activities around the world in 2014. These include safety assessments, decommission and decontamination of nuclear facilities, fusion facilities, transportation and management solutions for the final disposal of low and high level radioactive wastes (LLW and HLW), interim storage ...

Publisher Summary This chapter focuses on radioactive waste that can be generated by some activities. The waste can be classified according to its radioactivity level and decay time. These two characteristics principally influence the choice of the best method for waste treatment and its storage or disposal.

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the disposal of radioactive wastes that arise from a great variety of sources, including the nuclear fuel cycle, beneficial uses of isotopes, and radiation by institutions. Spent fuel contains uranium, plutonium, and highly radioactive fission products.

Disposal of Radioactive Wastes
Science, 1984Scientists appointed by the International Council of Scientific Unions have concluded that nuclear wastes may be safely disposed of using current technology. Interim storage for 50 to 100 years greatly reduces the problem of thermal loading at the final disposal sites, but more research devoted to such interim storage is needed.

This chapter concentrates on the final disposition of radioactive materials. After explaining the difference between open and closed nuclear fuel cycles, the categories of nuclear waste, such as high and low level, are defined. Spent reactor fuel is stored in pools, generally near the reactor, until sufficient thermal and radioactive cooling occurs ...

Management of Radioactive Wastes [PDF]
, 1986 Radioactivity has always been with us. However, humankind was not aware of it until recently, primarily because there were no means to measure it. In 1896 Henri Becquerel first discovered that penetrating radiation was emitted spontaneously from a uranium compound. This phenomenon was given the name radioactivity by Pierre and Marie Curie.

Final Disposal of Radioactive Waste with High Radioactivity (Heat-Generating Radioactive Waste)
2019The radioactive wastes with high radioactivity (HAW) are those which are relatively low in volume worldwide, but represent over 90% of the total radioactivity held in wastes. The decay of radionuclides produces significant quantities of heat, which makes direct transport into a safe deposit impossible.

While the high-level waste discussed in Chapter 5 is the problem that has received the lion’s share of the attention, it is not the only waste problem involved with nuclear power. In fact it is not even the most important one. Several other nuclear waste issues will be considered in this chapter, followed by a summation of the problem as a whole.
