Editors' Choice—Review—Electro-Kinetic Decontamination of Radioactive Concrete Waste from Nuclear Power Plants

Methods for the Minimization of Radioactive Waste from Decontamination and Decommissioning of Nuclear Facilities METHODS FOR THE MINIMIZATION OF RADIOACTIVE WASTE FROM DECONTAMINATION AND DECOMMISSIONING OF NUCLEAR FACILITIES

Reframing nuclear power in the UK energy debate: nuclear power, climate change mitigation and radioactive waste.

In the past decade, human influence on the climate through increased use of fossil fuels has become widely acknowledged as one of the most pressing issues for the global community. For the United Kingdom, we suggest that these concerns have increasingly become manifest in a new strand of political debate around energy policy, which reframes nuclear power as part of the solution to the need for ...

Nuclear Power Plants Report of a Technical Committee Meeting on the Procedures for Decontamination of Operating Nuclear Power Plants and Handling of Decontamination Wastes

Metal And Concrete Inputs For Several Nuclear Power Plants

In nuclear energy systems, the major construction inputs are steel and concrete, which comprise over 95% of the material energy inputs. The evaluation of construction material inputs is central to life-cycle assessments for environmental impacts for nuclear and other non-fossil energy systems, and can provide a useful, if only qualitative, plausibility check for economics claims. This paper com...

Behavior of Radioactive Cesium in Municipal Solid Waste of Thermal Treatment Plants after Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant Accident – 16626

Municipal solid waste (MSW) contaminated by radioactive cesium (r-Cs) has been treated by various thermal treatment facilities in Japan. However, the behavior of r-Cs in their plants is scarcely known. Therefore, we investigated 4 types of the thermal treatment plants to understand the r-Cs behavior during different thermal treatments of the MSW. The distribution of r-Cs between residue dischar...
