Nuclear fusion waste classification of K-DEMO under the Korean radioactive waste regulations

Australia ’ s Radioactive Waste Classification Scheme

he topic of radioactive waste generates debate, both publicly and scientifically. Like chemical and other hazardous waste, radioactive waste needs to be dealt with to ensure its safety and its security. Proper management and disposal of most forms of radioactive waste is technically straightforward. A robust safety regime has been developed internationally for managing and disposing of radioact...

Waste management Radioactive waste management policies

Eight senior government representatives outlined the views and policies of their countries in the field of radioactive waste management at a "scientific afternoon" during the 27th Regular Session of the General Conference of the IAEA in Vienna in October. The countries represented were Argentina, France, the Federal Republic of Germany. India, Japan, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and the USA; sta...

Disposal of Radioactive Waste

Perhaps the most important single problem arising from the increasing use of atomic energy for peaceful purposes is how to dispose of the growing amounts of radioactive waste. Many of its complex aspects were discussed at the scientific conference on the disposal of radioactive waste held by IAEA in Monaco from 16 to 21 November 1959. The conference was organized jointly with UNESCO, with the c...

Nuclear Data Evaluation for Accelerator- Based Transmutation of Radioactive Waste

The necessity of high-energy nuclear data libraries for accelerator-based transmutation research is argued. After a brief sketch of the bigll-energy nuclear reaction chain in an incineration system, the most important data. needs for accelerator-based transmutation are categorized by reaction type and nlaterial. The present status of the collection of experimental data for high energies is inve...
