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.

About a decade later, they also began injecting radioactive waste into what they believed were very slow moving fields of groundwater in the West Siberian Basin, located in central Russia. The practice of discharging into open reservoirs continued until the early 1990s. Over time, Russian scientists discovered waste had migrated in the aquifer underlying one reprocessing site to a nearby stream and could threaten the drinking water of residents.

Background Information Board Members 1999-2000 WIEB Annual Report Background Information The Western Interstate Energy Board is an organization of 12 western states and three western Canadian provinces, which are associate members of the Board. The governor of each state appoints a member to the Board. The legal basis of the Board is the Western Interstate Nuclear Compact (Public Law 91-461). The Compact provides for the President of the United States to appoint an ex-officio member to the Board. The Compact states that the purpose of the Board is to provide the instruments and framework for cooperative state efforts to "enhance the economy of the West and contribute to the well-being of the region's people." The Board seeks to achieve this purpose through cooperative efforts among member states/provinces and with the federal government in the energy field. The Board serves as the energy arm of the Western Governors’ Association. Much of the work of the Board is conducted through committees. Committee members are appointed by Board representatives and often have expertise on a particular issue. The Board has three committees. The High-Level Radioactive Waste Committee , which consists of nuclear waste transportation experts from state energy, public safety, and environmental agencies, has been working with the U.S. Department of Energy to develop a safe and publicly acceptable system for transporting spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste under the Nuclear Waste Policy Act.

14. Transmutation Of Radioactive Waste A program of the NEA Data Bank of the OECD. A general introduction to transmutation of radioactive waste, information on Transmutation with nuclear reactors, Acceleratorbased transmutation, and chemical aspects of transmutation. Also general nuclear data. http://www.nea.fr/html/trw/index.html

Nuclear Safety Radioactive Waste Radiation Protection Nuclear Development ... Web Links Transmutation of Radioactive Waste Transmutation methods Nuclear data Online documents Introduction 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:

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

Radioactive Waste Management 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: Alpha radiation cannot penetrate the skin and can be blocked out by a sheet of paper, but is dangerous in the lung.

17. Radioactive Waste Repository & Store For Australia radioactive waste repository store for Australia. Nuclear Issues Briefing Paper 55 July 2003. Classification of radioactive wastes. http://www.uic.com.au/nip55.htm

Nuclear Issues Briefing Paper # 55 July 2003 Australia has a relatively small amount of low-level radioactive waste and rather less volume of intermediate-level waste (ILW). A national repository is planned near Woomera for the low-level waste, and a long-term store for the ILW will be located elsewhere. While Australia has no nuclear power producing electricity, it does have well-developed usage of radioisotopes in medicine, research and industry. Many of these isotopes are produced in the research reactor at Lucas Heights, near Sydney, then used at hospitals, industrial sites and laboratories around the country. Each year Australia produces about 45 cubic metres of radioactive wastes arising from these uses and from the manufacture of the isotopes - about 40 m3 low-level wastes (LLW) and 5 m3 intermediate-level wastes (ILW). These wastes are now stored at over a hundred sites around Australia. This is not considered a suitable long-term strategy. Since the late 1970s there has been an evolving process of site selection for a national radioactive waste repository for LLW and short-lived ILW. There is also a need to locate a secure storage facility for long-lived intermediate-level wastes including those which will be returned to Australia following the reprocessing of spent fuel from Lucas Heights. International practice In other countries vastly more such waste is produced. Around the world, nuclear power generation produces over 150,000 cubic metres of low and intermediate-level wastes each year, and the extensive use of radioisotopes in medicine and industry would add to this. The UK and France each produce about 25,000 cubic metres of LLW annually.

20. ENERGY FACTS: RADIOACTIVE WASTES radioactive wasteS. Initially developed for use in weapons, in the past 30 years nuclear fission has been harnessed to produce electricity. produces some waste that is radioactive. radioactive waste differs from chemical waste in its unique Mill tailings constitute the largest amount of radioactive waste, by volume http://www.iclei.org/efacts/radioact.htm

RADIOACTIVE WASTES Initially developed for use in weapons, in the past 30 years nuclear fission has been harnessed to produce electricity. In many ways these nuclear power plants can be seen as a 'clean' source of electricity because they do not emit the atmospheric pollutants given off by fossil fuel fired power plants. The nuclear industry has also spawned many different technologies used in medical procedures and industrial applications. Although the benefits from the nuclear industry are great they are not without their risks, for any use of nuclear energy produces some waste that is radioactive. Radioactive waste differs from chemical waste in its unique property of emitting radioactive ionization. This ionization comes in the form of Alpha particles, nuclei of Helium-4 with 2 protons and 2 neutrons and a +2 charge, Beta particles (electrons with a -1 charge), and Gamma Rays, electromagnetic radiation similar to X-rays which has shorter wavelengths and is more penetrating. These radioisotopes can strip electrons from atoms or split molecules into pieces and can be very harmful to living creatures. Beta and gamma radiation are the most dangerous to living creatures. The damage to living tissue caused by radiation depends on which parts of an organism are exposed and the intensity and duration of the radiation. Radioactive waste is also different from chemical waste in that it cannot be changed with a chemical reaction to form a non-radioactive product. No matter how it is treated or with what it is mixed, it still emits radiation until it naturally decays. The rate of decay of a radioactive isotope is called its half life, the time in which half the initial amount of atoms present takes to decay (Figure 1). The half life for different isotopes can range from several minutes to millions of years. For example, the half life of Uranium-238 is 3.5 billion years, the half life for Carbon-14 is 5730 years, and the half life of radon-222 is 3.82 days. The purpose in understanding the theory behind half life is to realize that radioactive waste stays radioactive until all the atoms have decayed.
