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:

Mining, nuclear power generation, and various processes in industry, defense, medicine, and scientific research produce byproducts that include radioactive waste. Radioactive waste can be in gas, liquid or solid form, and its level of radioactivity can vary. The waste can remain radioactive for a few hours or several months or even hundreds of thousands of years. Are there different kinds of radioactive waste? Yes, radioactive waste sorts into six general categories : spent nuclear fuel from nuclear reactors, high-level radioactive waste from the reprocessing of spent nuclear fuel; transuranic radioactive waste, resulting mainly from manufacture of nuclear weapons;

All Australians benefit from the use of radioactive materials in medical, research and industrial processes. These beneficial uses of radioactivity generate a small amount of radioactive waste. It is important for the community and the environment that these materials are managed in a safe and appropriate way. Radioactive waste is currently in temporary storage at numerous locations across the country, often within towns and cities. The Australian Government is currently working to implement strategies for the safe storage and disposal of Australia’s radioactive waste. australia and radiation Radiation is all around us, from naturally occurring radioactive elements and cosmic rays. Natural, background radiation is part of our everyday lives. Radioactive materials have a variety of important uses in medicine, industry, agriculture, and sterilisation, as well as in our homes. The production and use of radioactive materials generate radioactive waste which must be managed safely and appropriately.

Chem-Nuclear Systems, L.L.C., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Duratek, Inc., operates a commercial low-level radioactive waste disposal facility located on 235 acres in Barnwell County, South Carolina. On July 1, 2000, South Carolina joined the Northeast Compact, thereby forming the Atlantic Compact with Connecticut, New Jersey and South Carolina as member states. The South Carolina Budget and Control Board establishes and adjusts the rate schedules for disposal of radioactive waste at the Barnwell Facility. Disposal rates for waste generated within the Atlantic Compact cannot exceed disposal rates available to waste generators outside the compact. The South Carolina Public Service Commission approves the allowable costs for disposal operations.

Site Map Radioactive Waste Disposal: An Environmental Perspective Introduction 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.

Skip navigation Environmental protection Home Contact Defra About Defra News ... Radioactivity Radioactive waste management Radioactive waste management involves dealing safely with the long-lived wastes from processes involving radioactivity. This waste comes from a number of sources, and ranges from paper towels used in hospitals to nitric acid solution formed as a result of reprocessing nuclear fuel. Radioactive waste is currently stored safely on site under licence from the Health and Safety Executive's Nuclear Installations Inspectorate and is subject to strict regulatory control. But the Government and the devolved administrations have not decided on the long-term management of solid long-lived radioactive waste and consider it vitally important to find a solution that is scientifically and technically feasible and one which has the support of the general public. In order to gain widespread support for any new policy, we have to get the public involved in the process. The first step was to explain the problem and the Government's proposals, and how the public could be involved in the decision taking. Defra and the devolved administrations did this when they published the joint consultation paper "Managing Radioactive Waste Safely"

Low-Level Radioactive Waste Fact Sheets: An Introduction RER-00 Audeen Fentiman Richard Christensen Karen Mancl Joe Heimlich Brian K. Hajek 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.
