Optimization of Radioactive Waste Storage

Health Physics, 2007
In several countries, low-level radioactive wastes are treated and stored awaiting construction and operation of a final repository. In some cases, interim storage may be extended for decades requiring special attention regarding security issues. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) recommends segregation of wastes that may be exempted from ...

Radioactive waste storage and disposal

Proceedings of the IEEE, 1986
A review of the subject of radioactive waste management is provided, including background information, tutorial material, and a status report on U.S. disposal efforts. Topics discussed are: the radioactive decay process; the steps in the nuclear fuel cycle from the mining of uranium to the disposal of wastes; typical uses of isotopes and radiation in ...

Passive storage of radioactive waste

Nuclear Energy, 2003
The absence of a policy for long-term management of either intermediate- or high-level waste has led to increased emphasis by both regulators and waste producers on long-term storage in regimes in which the need for human intervention is minimised.

Storage of Nuclear Waste in Sweden

Tunnelling and Underground Space Technology, 1989
Abstract Sweden has been active in developing a comprehensive program for the disposal of nuclear waste. The author describes the programme for radioactive waste management, which comprises: a sea-transportation system; a central repository for final disposal of low- and medium-level radioactive waste (SFR); a central facility for interim storage of ...

Phosphates and Nuclear Waste Storage

Elements, 2008
A significant effort has been made by the scientific community to evaluate the potential of phosphate minerals and glasses as nuclear waste storage hosts. Radioactive waste-bearing phosphates, including monazites, apatites, and glasses, can be readily synthesized in the laboratory.

Underground storage of hazardous waste

Journal of Hazardous Materials, 1987
Abstract The use of underground space for the storage of hazardous waste is a little used option and is a viable candidate to supplement existing and developing technologies. The use of underground storage for hazardous waste has been successfully demonstrated for 13 years at the Herfa-Neurode Mine Facility in West Germany [1].

From storage towards waste

2017
Chatting over my notions of storage with Tracy on waking this morning, she mentioned hoards (not votive hoards) as a form of storage, which they are. She wrote a string of ‘hoard poems’ at Anchor Lodge, which she placed in storage in the Skib lock-up while we were away. They are out of storage now and in Rosewood Cottage.
