Description and Table of Contents

Description

The papers in this volume have been written and brought together by a group of experts, each of whom deals with radioactive waste management on a daily basis, as well as having the deep knowledge and level of expertise that only industry insiders can achieve. Topics covered here include: treatment issues; waste mangement practice; transport and storage; and environment and regulations.

Table of Contents

  • Part 1 Treatment issues: the new Dounreay low-level liquid effluent treatment plan
  • the disposal of a radioactive cell
  • technical and operational risk management strategies for the Sellafield Drypac Plant (SDP). Part 2 Waste management practice: radiation inheritance of Russian nuclear fleet and ecological safety problems relating to utilization of nuclear submarines and rehabilitation of other facilities in the Navy
  • decontamination and waste minimization techniques in nuclear decommissioning
  • transuranic waste management at Los Alamos National Laboratory
  • disposition of Russian nuclear submarines - outlines of the concept and implementation problems
  • management of accumulated operational wastes at BNFL's decommissioning reactor sites. Part 3 Transport and storage: transportation of spent fuel in Japan
  • engineering considerations associated wtih plant used for storage of intermediate level waste - a regulator's view
  • the packaging of waste for safe long-term management
  • independent monitoring of solid low-level radioactive waste disposals in the UK
  • round robin test for the non-destructive assay of 220 litre radioactive waste packages
  • the feasibility of surface for high-level waste. Part 4 Environmental and regulation: application of in-line monitoring to waste minimization during soil remediation
  • contained water management within the Chernobyl "shelter object"
  • ALARP as applied to high-level waste - the regulatory approach at Sellafield
  • radiation safety problems arising with damaged nuclear submarines utilization
  • experience in nuclear decommissioning and waste management
  • disposal of radioactive waste - a puzzle in four dimensions.
