4. With an aim to improve the waste management, Mongolia developed the following regulations: “A rule on classification, collection, temporary storage, transportation, treatment of hazardous wastes” (2002); “Regulation and procedures on disposal and landfill of hazardous waste of business entities, and requirements on waste containers and waste disposal sites” (2006); “Methodology for calculati...

This paper starts from the premise that radioactive material, generated as a by-product of the British nuclear industry, already exists in significant quantity. The question of what should be done with this material therefore needs to be answered, even if no more of it is created. Whether the industry should continue producing radioactive waste is a legitimate question, and one which raises sig...

A test substance with characteristics and properties similar to those of cellulose· based solid waste products is needed to calibrate calorimeters and combustors which will be routinely burning these materials to determine their calorific values precisely for use in commerce. Microcrystalline cellulose was found to be a good calibrant for this purpose. The enthalpy of combustion of microcrystal...
