Framework Concept of Radiological Protection from Radioactive Waste Management in Existing Exposure Situations

Radiological protection from radioactive waste management in existing exposure situations resulting from a nuclear accident

In environmental remediation after nuclear accidents, radioactive wastes have to be appropriately managed in existing exposure situations with contamination resulting from the emission of radionuclides by such accidents. In this paper, a framework of radiation protection from radioactive waste management in existing exposure situations for application to the practical and reasonable waste manag...
