States' Role in Radioactive Material Management

The role of states in triangle algebras

In this paper, we enlarge the language of triangle algebra by addinga unary operation that describes properties of a state. Thesestructure algebras are called state triangle algebra. The vitalproperties of these algebras are given. The notion of state interval-valued residuated lattice (IVRL)-filters are introduced and givesome examples and properties of them are given. ...

Radioactive Waste Management : Management of Uncertainty in Safety Cases and the Role of Risk

Risk perception is often believed to be an important factor in policy decision making, when it comes to the management of hazardous technology. Research on risk perception by the public since the 1970s has purportedly shown that such perception is emotional and based on ignorance. Experts, on the other hand, have been claimed to be objective and correct in their risk assessments. The present pa...

Radiological protection in North American naturally occurring radioactive material industries.

All soils and rocks contain naturally occurring radioactive material (NORM). Many ores and raw materials contain relatively high levels of natural radionuclides, and processing such materials can further increase the concentrations of natural radionuclides, sometimes referred to as 'technologically enhanced naturally occurring radioactive material' (TENORM). Examples of NORM minerals include ur...

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...
