In terms of its statute the IAEA is mandated to develop safety standards for nuclear, radiation, radioactive waste and transport safety, and to provide for their use and application. At the 2000 Cordoba Conference on the safety of radioactive waste management it was concluded that in view of foreseen developments in the area that work should commence on the development of safety standards for g...

Waste treatment facilities are often shared among different municipalities as a means of managing wastes more efficiently. Usually, management costs are assigned to each municipality depending on the size of the population or total amount of waste produced, regardless of important environmental aspects such as per capita waste generation or achievements in composting or recycling. This paper pr...

With the introduction of producer responsibility legislation within the UK (i.e., waste electrical and electronic equipment directive and end-of-life vehicles directive), specific recycling and recovery targets have been imposed to improve the sustainability of end-of-life products. With the introduction of these targets, and the increased investment in post-fragmentation facilities, automated ...

As the generation of industrial wastes increases, waste treatment is steadily becoming a serious economic and environmental issue. Existing waste has mainly been treated by landfilling after incineration. A shortage of landfill sites necessitates waste management alternatives other than traditional incineration and landfill. This paper focuses on a cost-benefit analysis that evaluates the econo...

Introduction The vitrification of nuclear waste in joule-heated melters is a costly multi-decade national effort. Current operations at the Defense Waste Processing Facility (DWPF) and future operations at the Waste Treatment Plant (WTP), now under construction at Hanford, rely on predictive models because of the lack of on-line monitoring of most processing parameters. This necessitates conser...

Technology progress is a cause of industrial hazardous wastes increasing in the whole world . Management of hazardous waste is a significant issue due to the imposed risk on environment and human life. This risk can be a result of location of undesirable facilities and also routing hazardous waste. In this paper a biobjective mixed integer programing model for location-routing industrial hazard...
