Contents:
Radioactive Waste Management -- Generation and Characteristics of Radioactive Wastes -- Decommissioning of Nuclear Facilities -- Clearance -- Radioactive Waste Treatment Technologies -- Radioactive Waste Disposal -- Performance Assessment of the Radioactive Waste Disposal System -- Appendix A: Derivation of Clearance Levels -- Appendix B: Solving Diffusion Equations and Advection-Dispersion Equations for Radioactive Materials -- Appendix C: Fundamentals of Chemical Equilibrium and Thermodynamics for Radioactive Waste Management.
In: Springer eBooksSummary: This book describes essential and effective management for reliably ensuring public safety from radioactive wastes in Japan. This is the first book to cover many aspects of wastes from the nuclear fuel cycle to research and medical use, allowing readers to understand the characterization, treatment and final disposal of generated wastes, performance assessment, institutional systems, and social issues such as intergenerational ethics. Exercises at the end of each chapter help to understand radioactive waste management in context.
