Description

Radioactive waste management is critical to the use of nuclear power, radioisotopes in research, medicine and industry and to the clean-up of materials in nuclear weapon programs. While many wastes are well understood and have appropriate treatment and conditioning technologies applied to them, others, and newer wastes, require additional input to help control and contain them safely and securely. Different technologies are applied internationally due to the variation in the source of wastes, and to the current and potential policies that apply in those jurisdictions. This book provides a timely reference on radioactive waste management processes, technologies, and international experiences from countries such as Russia, Japan, France, Germany, South Africa, Canada, and England and Wales.
