Transportation of Tritiated Waste from Fusion Facilities

Biomedical waste disposal systems of health facilities in Ethiopia

Background: Biomedical waste generated from health and health-related activities can be grouped as general waste and hazardous waste. This remains true if and only if there is proper on-site handling, such as the segregation and separation of waste based on the type and nature of the source. Methods: A stratified random sampling design was used to provide representative results for Ethiopia, f...

Cooperative Planning of Metropolitan Transportation Facilities

The need for cooperation in the planning of metropolitan trans­ portation facilities has taken on added significance as a result of the Interstate Road Program with its emphasis on arterial improvement in urban areas. A meeting to discuss this problem more fully was held in October 1958 at Syracuse University. This meeting, the National Conference on Highways and Urban Redevelopment (more commo...

Solid phase extraction of tritiated contaminants from tritium-containing waste oils

A solid phase extraction method for removing polar tritiated contaminants from tritium-containing waste oils has been developed. The composition of the degradation products present in the waste oil was determined. The results indicated that upon exposure to tritium gas, fragment methyl ketones, carboxylic acids, and lactones were the main polar products of the mineral-based oil oxidation. The n...

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

Robotic Inspection of Nuclear Waste Storage Facilities

Introduction Safe disposal of nuclear waste is a difficult problem. Long-term plans are to house nuclear waste permanently in underground facilities. In the near-term however, nuclear waste is stored in temporary storage facilities at various sites around the country. Federal and state regulations require periodic inspection of these storage facilities to insure storage vessel integrity and ver...
