Welcome to the new and expanded home of WasteLink , your guide to radioactive waste related material on the internet, at RadWaste.org . While the primary purpose of this site is to provide a reference source for radioactive waste management professionals, we recognize that radwaste is a hotly debated and emotional issue in today's society. Few other topics can polarize a community faster than the discussion of what to do with radioactive waste (or whether we should be generating any at all). Therefore, we strive to present all sides of the story in a non-partisan fashion. Intelligent people, like yourself, have a right to evaluate the available information and form their own opinions. Our attempt at non-biased coverage has earned us the respect of people and institutions on all sides of the issue, pro, anti, academic, governments, and professional societies to name a few.

http://www.nea.fr/html/trw/

Extractions: Transmutation of Radioactive Waste Transmutation methods Nuclear data Online documents Since 1989, there has been renewed interest in some OECD Member countries in the concept of separation and transmutation of actinides. Several of them, in general countries with heavy investment in nuclear power, have launched significant programmes in order to evaluate more accurately the validity of this approach from the point of view of waste management and radiation protection, the overall impact on the fuel cycle, and the new scientific and technological problems it would raise. Forecasts are also needed for the economic effects in the longer term. Some of the NEA committees have already taken a position on this question, or have arranged to study certain aspects of it. Thus, the Radioactive Waste Management Committee has considered the concept as a possibility for the long-term future, and wishes to be kept informed on developments. The Nuclear Science Committee has already made plans to examine some new scientific questions raised by transmutation, while the Nuclear Development Committee is carrying out a general programme of information exchange between the Member countries. The separation and transmutation of actinides is generally considered as a new option which should be explored. However, the interest, urgency or priority to be assigned to such work will look different according to whether it is seen from a scientific or a strategic point of view and whether the question is considered in a more or less long-term perspective. In fact the committees likely to work on this topic have, by their very nature, points of view and sometimes objectives which may differ significantly and which should be respected. In order to avoid any misunderstanding between the committees the Secretariat may find it useful to demonstrate the overall coherence of NEA's activity, taking the following position:

http://www2s.biglobe.ne.jp/~INSC/INSCAP/Radwaste.html

Extractions: The purpose of this document is to provide top level information on the subject of radioactive waste management disposal amongst the member societies of the INSC. Ultimately, this information will be made use of by politicians and members of the public as well as by those involved in the industry. The aim here is to provide an overview on the subject from an international perspective; however, more detailed aspects on the subject may be obtainable from the relevant member societies and or the radwaste management organisation in the country concerned. Annex I: Country specific examples of radwaste management and disposal Annex II: International Conventions In introducing a document which considers the subject of radioactive waste we must first agree on what is meant by the word "waste". For the purposes of this document we have adopted the IAEA definition of radioactive waste (Ref. 1): It is recognised that different countries may have different interpretations, however, the important part of the definition is "for which no use is foreseen". This immediately raises the question as to the status, for example, of spent nuclear fuel. Some countries, such as the UK and France would deem spent fuel as a resource whereas Finland, USA, Sweden would regard it as a waste. The interpretation therefore can be dependent as much on National Government Policy as much as any scientific or technical description.

radioactive waste Management. Like all industries, the thermal generationof electricity produces wastes. Types of radioactive waste (radwaste).
http://www.uic.com.au/wast.htm

Extractions: Like all industries, the thermal generation of electricity produces wastes. Whatever fuel is used, these wastes must be managed in ways which safeguard human health and minimise their impact on the environment. Nuclear power is the only energy industry which takes full responsibility for all its wastes, and costs this into the product. Nuclear power is characterised by the very large amount of energy available from a very small amount of fuel. The amount of waste is also relatively small. However, much of the waste is radioactive and therefore must be carefully managed as hazardous waste. Radioactivity arises naturally from the decay of particular forms of some elements, called isotopes. Some isotopes are radioactive, most are not, though in this publication we concentrate on the former. There are three kinds of radiation to consider: alpha, beta and gamma . A fourth kind, neutron radiation, generally only occurs inside a nuclear reactor. Different types of radiation require different forms of protection:

http://www.ag.ohio-state.edu/~rer/

Extractions: Low-level radioactive waste has been generated for decades in Ohio and other states by nuclear power plants, industry, hospitals, universities, research institutions, and government facilities. According to federal law, each state is responsible for disposing of commercial low-level radioactive waste generated within its borders. States may form groups, called compacts, to share that responsibility. Ohio is part of the Midwest Compact; the other members are Indiana, Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, and Wisconsin. Every twenty years, the responsibility for hosting the Midwest Compact's low-level waste disposal facility will rotate among the member states. As the largest generator of this waste, Ohio was chosen as the first host state. Ohio's citizens and elected officials are now faced with making decisions about low-level radioactive waste. Radioactive waste is a topic few people have had an opportunity to study in detail. But accurate information is necessary if Ohioans are to make sound decisions about dealing with low-level waste. Radiation Education Resources for Ohio is a set of fact sheets written by a team at The Ohio State University (OSU) to provide Ohio's citizens with information on low-level radioactive waste. The fact sheets are designed to present accurate, research-based information that will help Ohio's citizens and their elected officials to participate confidently and competently in discussions and decisions related to low-level waste.
Radioactive Waste Management - Australia
Safely Managing Our radioactive waste . These beneficial uses of radioactivitydo however generate small amounts of radioactive waste.
http://www.dest.gov.au/radwaste/default.htm

Extractions: "Safely Managing Our Radioactive Waste" All Australians benefit from the use of radioactive materials in medical, research and industrial processes. These beneficial uses of radioactivity do however generate small amounts of radioactive waste. It is important for all of us that these materials are managed in a safe and effective way. Currently, radioactive waste is stored temporarily at numerous locations across the country, often within our large cities. There is a national agreement that the safest and most responsible way to manage the small quantities of low level radioactive waste that Australia produces is through disposal in a national, near-surface repository. Following extensive consultation and scientific investigation a preferred site for the repository is currently being selected. This website covers issues relating to the establishment of a national repository including public consultation, site selection studies, the criteria used to determine suitable sites, and the types of material to be disposed of in the repository.
Amount Of Radioactive Waste In Australia
Amounts of radioactive waste in Australia. Australia also holds approximately500 cubic metres of longlived intermediate level radioactive waste.
http://www.dest.gov.au/radwaste/australia/amounts.htm

Extractions: Amounts of Radioactive Waste in Australia Low level and intermediate level waste Most of Australia's waste consists of low level and short-lived intermediate level radioactive waste (according the International Atomic Energy Agency [IAEA] Safety Guide on the Classification of Radioactive Waste), and is categorised as A, B and C according to the NHMRC classification scheme. Australia has accumulated less than 3,500 cubic metres of radioactive waste from over forty years of research, medical and industrial use of radioactive materials. If all this material was collected it would fit into 50 shipping containers. (Note this does not include uranium mining wastes, which are disposed of at mine site). Over half of Australia's current waste consists of 10,000 drums of lightly contaminated soil. This is a legacy of CSIRO research into processing radioactive ores during the 1950s and 1960s.

Extractions: Radioactive waste disposal practices have changed substantially over the last twenty years. Evolving environmental protection considerations have provided the impetus to improve disposal technologies, and, in some cases, clean up facilities that are no longer in use. Designs for new disposal facilities and disposal methods must meet environmental protection and pollution prevention standards that are more strict than were foreseen at the beginning of the atomic age. Disposal of radioactive waste is a complex issue, not only because of the nature of the waste, but also because of the complicated regulatory structure for dealing with radioactive waste. There are a variety of stakeholders affected, and there are a number of regulatory entities involved. Federal government agencies involved in radioactive waste management include: the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), the Department of Energy (DOE), and the Department of Transportation. In addition, the states and affected Indian Tribes play a prominent role in protecting the public against the hazards of radioactive waste.
