Radioactive waste From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Nuclear waste Jump to: navigation search This article or section deals primarily with the United States and does not represent a worldwide view of the subject. Please improve this article or discuss the issue on the talk page Radioactive wastes are waste types containing radioactive chemical elements that do not have a practical purpose. They are sometimes the products of nuclear processes, such as nuclear fission . However, other industries not directly connected to the nuclear industry can produce large quantities of radioactive waste. For instance, over the past 20 years it is estimated that just the oil-producing endeavors of the US have accumulated 8 million tons of radioactive wastes. The majority of radioactive waste is " low-level waste ", meaning it has low levels of radioactivity per mass or volume . This type of waste often consists of used protective clothing, which is only slightly contaminated but still dangerous in case of radioactive contamination of a human body through ingestion inhalation absorption , or injection In the United States alone, the

While the primary purpose of this site is to provide a reference source for radioactive waste management professionals, we recognize that radwaste is a hotly debated and emotional issue in today's society. Few other topics can polarize a community faster than the discussion of what to do with radioactive waste (or whether we should be generating any at all). Therefore, we strive to present all sides of the story in a non-partisan fashion. Intelligent people, like yourself, have a right to evaluate the available information and form their own opinions. Our attempt at non-biased coverage has earned us the respect of people and institutions on all sides of the issue, pro, anti, academic, governments, and professional societies to name a few.

4. Radioactive Waste Management Delayand-decay however is unique to radioactive waste management; it means that the waste is stored and its radioactivity is allowed to decrease naturally http://www.uic.com.au/wast.htm

Radioactive Waste Management Like all industries, the thermal generation of electricity produces wastes. Whatever fuel is used, these wastes must be managed in ways which safeguard human health and minimise their impact on the environment. Nuclear power is the only energy industry which takes full responsibility for all its wastes, and costs this into the product. Nuclear power is characterised by the very large amount of energy available from a very small amount of fuel. The amount of waste is also relatively small. However, much of the waste is radioactive and therefore must be carefully managed as hazardous waste. Since the radioactive wastes are essentially created in a nuclear power reactor, it is accepted that they are the responsibility of the country which uses uranium to generate power. There is no moral or legal basis for the responsibility to be elsewhere. Radioactivity arises naturally from the decay of particular forms of some elements, called isotopes. Some isotopes are radioactive, most are not, though in this publication we concentrate on the former. There are three kinds of radiation to consider: alpha, beta and gamma

REFERENCES Radioactive Waste Disposal: An Environmental Perspective [EPA 402-K-94-001] This booklet describes the different categories of waste, discusses disposal practices for each type. and describes the way they are regulated. On this page: Introduction Types of Waste Introduction Radioactive waste disposal practices have changed substantially over the last twenty years. Evolving environmental protection considerations have provided the impetus to improve disposal technologies, and, in some cases, clean up facilities that are no longer in use. Designs for new disposal facilities and disposal methods must meet environmental protection and pollution prevention standards that are more strict than were foreseen at the beginning of the atomic age. Disposal of radioactive waste is a complex issue, not only because of the nature of the waste, but also because of the complicated regulatory structure for dealing with radioactive waste. There are a variety of stakeholders affected, and there are a number of regulatory entities involved. Federal government agencies involved in radioactive waste management include: the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), the Department of Energy (DOE), and the Department of Transportation. In addition, the states and affected Indian Tribes play a prominent role in protecting the public against the hazards of radioactive waste.

Low-Level Radioactive Waste Fact Sheets: An Introduction RER-00 Audeen Fentiman Richard Christensen Karen Mancl Joe Heimlich Brian K. Hajek Low-level radioactive waste has been generated for decades in Ohio and other states by nuclear power plants, industry, hospitals, universities, research institutions, and government facilities. According to federal law, each state is responsible for disposing of commercial low-level radioactive waste generated within its borders. States may form groups, called compacts, to share that responsibility. Ohio is part of the Midwest Compact; the other members are Indiana, Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, and Wisconsin. Every twenty years, the responsibility for hosting the Midwest Compact's low-level waste disposal facility will rotate among the member states. As the largest generator of this waste, Ohio was chosen as the first host state. Ohio's citizens and elected officials are now faced with making decisions about low-level radioactive waste. Radioactive waste is a topic few people have had an opportunity to study in detail. But accurate information is necessary if Ohioans are to make sound decisions about dealing with low-level waste. Radiation Education Resources for Ohio is a set of fact sheets written by a team at The Ohio State University (OSU) to provide Ohio's citizens with information on low-level radioactive waste. The fact sheets are designed to present accurate, research-based information that will help Ohio's citizens and their elected officials to participate confidently and competently in discussions and decisions related to low-level waste.

Search Transmutation of Radioactive Waste Transmutation methods Nuclear data Online documents Introduction Since 1989, there has been renewed interest in some OECD Member countries in the concept of separation and transmutation of actinides. Several of them, in general countries with heavy investment in nuclear power, have launched significant programmes in order to evaluate more accurately the validity of this approach from the point of view of waste management and radiation protection, the overall impact on the fuel cycle, and the new scientific and technological problems it would raise. Forecasts are also needed for the economic effects in the longer term. Some of the NEA committees have already taken a position on this question, or have arranged to study certain aspects of it. Thus, the Radioactive Waste Management Committee has considered the concept as a possibility for the long-term future, and wishes to be kept informed on developments. The Nuclear Science Committee has already made plans to examine some new scientific questions raised by transmutation, while the Nuclear Development Committee is carrying out a general programme of information exchange between the Member countries.
