the disposal of nuclear wastes is one of the most controversial issues faced by authorities in japan. in this regard, a survey was conducted among 172 university students to analyze the attitude towards the sitting of a nuclear waste repository in the country. the study focused on a number of variables that influenced the perception of risks before the 2011 tohoku earthquake and tsunami. resul...

in this paper, we have tried to find a solution for quick transfer of nuclear wastes from pools of cool water to dry stores to reduce the environmental concerns and financial cost of burying atomic waste. therefore, the rate of heat transfer from atomic waste materials to the outer surface of the container should be increased. this can be achieved by covering the bottom of the pool space with c...

Membrane assisted liquid extraction(MALE) technologies are gaining an important role as an extraction /separation technique for actinides and are being deployed as a  promising tool for remediation of nuclear waste generated in the reprocessing plant and other radioactive wastes containing a trace level of radionuclides. The present contribution outlines the classification of membrane assisted ...

Radioactivity in nuclear power effluents is negligible compared to that in retained wastes to be disposed of as solids. Two basic waste categories are those for which shallow disposal is accepted and those for which more extreme isolation is desired. The latter includes "high level" wastes and others contaminated with radionuclides with the unusual combined properties of long radioactive half-l...

This paper deals with the study of radioactive waste generation and their treatment techniques. The wastes that are generated during the front and back end of the nuclear power production are classified are low, intermediate and high level waste. The various existing process for the treatment for the waste like, reprocessing, pyroprocessing, transmutation, and options available for the disposal...
