    Extractions: IEER For more information on radioactive waste, a critique of current policies, and suggestions for an alternative approach to radioactive waste management, see IEER's publication: High-Level Dollars Low-Level Sense on our publications page. Radioactive Waste: In general, radioactive waste classes are based on the waste's origin, not on the physical and chemical properties of the waste that could determine its safe management. Other categories of radioactive waste not listed here include mixed waste and NARM wastes (Naturally-Occurring and Accelerator-Produced Radioactive Materials). One common factor for all categories of nuclear waste is the presence of at least some amount of long-lived radionuclides. Category of Radioactive Waste Definition High-Level Waste Reprocessing Waste: liquid waste from solvent extraction cycles in reprocessing. Also the solids into which liquid wastes may have been converted. NOTE: The Department of Energy defines HLW as reprocessing waste only, while the Nuclear Regulatory Commission defines HLW as spent fuel and reprocessing waste.

    Extractions: Global experience and challenges With extensive experience in disposal of low- and intermediate-level radioactive wastes, countries are addressing some new challenges by Kyong Won Han, Jorma Heinonen, and Arnold Bonne Since the world's first disposal of radioactive waste in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, in 1944, considerable experience has been acquired in the field. The first disposal site - intended for "actively contaminated broken glassware or materials not sufficiently clean to be used in other work" - was a simple trench filled with unconditioned waste located on the Oak Ridge site. Similar approaches were adopted by other nuclear facilities and waste generators in the United States and other countries during the early phases of nuclear power's development. Today, the world's disposal sites for low- and intermediate-level radioactive wastes (LILW) range from near-surface facilities to engineered geological repositories. More than one hundred LILW disposal facilities are, or have been, operating, and more than 42 repositories are under some stage of development in the IAEA's Member States. (See the table Accompanying the progress, a number of issues and challenges have arisen in countries pursuing radioactive waste disposal options. At the global level, the IAEA has been working to assist them in these efforts by promoting the transfer of technologies, particularly to developing countries. The work entails the collection, summary, and dissemination of updated technical information and support for co-ordinated research programmes on specific technical aspects. Within that context, this article presents an overview of international experience in land-based LILW disposal systems, and addresses the emerging issues and challenges now facing countries in this field.

    Extractions: Responsible management of wastes IAEA's role in radioactive waste management For well over half a century, nuclear technologies have been contributing to a better quality of life in a wide variety of fields: Energy: Almost one-fifth of the world's electricity is supplied by nuclear power plants. In some countries, nuclear power accounts for over 50% of the supply. Medicine: Nuclear techniques are extensively used in the diagnosis and treatment of life-threatening diseases like cancer. Economic Development: Nuclear applications are enhancing the productivity of industry and agriculture worldwide, and contributing to scientific advancement in many areas. Environmental Protection: Isotopic techniques are improving the management of water resources and the biosphere, and helping to control pollution. Like many natural and human-induced processes, however, applications of atomic energy produce wastes - residues that must be handled and disposed of effectively in order to protect human health and the environment.

    Extractions: Radioactive waste has been a concern for the last half-century, however, only recently has the issue received the attention it deserves. The growing awareness and the increase in stockpiles of radioactive waste has resulted in a demand for new solutions and better technologies to deal with this problem. In addition to the science and technology concerns that accompany the storage and disposal of radioactive waste, there are issues dealing with the public policy, the environment, and the economy that affect the way that the United States and other countries deal with their waste. There are several important issues currently surrounding radioactive waste disposal. First, radioactive waste disposal is a permanent problem because the high-level waste of today will be radioactive for thousands of years. The consequences and possibilities of radioactive waste entering the environment at the present time are difficult to determine, let alone thousands of years down the road. Second, there is no undisputed large-scale technique of disposal for this high-level waste. Currently, several methods of disposal are being evaluated by the scientific community, the government and environmental groups for this waste. Third, the political implications, from both federal and state perspectives, of the disposal of radioactive waste must also be addressed when evaluating this issue. This site will provide: Information on the two basic types of radioactive waste and issues surrounding their disposal (current and proposed methods)

References According to Greenpeace International, the volume of radioactive waste is 189 times greater when reprocessed at THORP than it would be if the spent fuel is stored as waste on shore. The reason for this is that all the equipment involved in reprocessing such as solutions, acid, containers, filters and the remaining machinery, becomes polluted by radioactivity. The total amount of radioactivity thus remains approximately the same as it was prior to the fuel being reprocessed; the difference is that it is mixed into different chemical and physical forms, making it thereby more difficult and more expensive to manage. 6.1.
