Previous News for August 2003 Next Lasers tackle radioactive waste 13 August 2003 One of the biggest challenges facing the nuclear industry today is the storage and disposal of waste that will remain radioactive for millions of years. One approach to this problem involves bombarding the waste with neutrons to speed up the decay of long-lived isotopes into nuclei with much shorter half-lives. However, physicists in the UK and Germany have now demonstrated a new laser-driven approach to "transmutation" by converting iodine-129, which has a half-life of 15.7 million years, into iodine-128. The half-life of this lighter isotope is just 25 minutes (K Ledingham et al. J. Phys. Ken Ledingham and colleagues from Strathclyde University, Glasgow University, Imperial College, the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory and the Institute for Transuranium Elements in Karlsruhe, Germany, illuminated a small gold target with a 360 Joule laser pulse from the VULCAN glass laser at Rutherford. The pulse had a duration of 0.7 picosecond and was focussed to give an intensity of 5x10 Watts per square centimetre.

Radioactive Waste Management Policy Issues in Malaysia policy.research mint .my Malaysian Institute for Nuclear Technology Research (MINT) Comprehensive coverage of global nuclear policy issues from Malaysia's perspective. The Objective, the Issues, the Instruments, the Tools, the Fora, and the Output Tue Sep 11 13:19:58 2001 Radioactive Waste Management Policy in Malaysia Even though Malaysia has no plans to embark on a nuclear power programme, and our nuclear activities are limited to the applications of such technologies in the industrial, medical, agricultural, and environmental sectors, the country, nevertheless, has a long history of tin mining activities which account for a vast majority of the radioactive waste management problems in the country. These radioactive wastes are mainly associated with naturally occurring radioactive materials (NORM's) extracted from the ground by the tin-mining activities, or technologically-enhanced naturally occurring radioactive materials (TENORM's) derived as a by-product of oil exploration and extraction industries. Certain minerals, such as monazite, illminite, zircon, which contain natural radioactive elements such as uranium, thorium and radium, coexist with tin ore or cassiterite in the ground. In the process of mineral extraction, these radioactive elements become more concentrated and need to be properly managed. Increasing environmental awareness and sensitivity has made the proper management of these radioactive wastes a matter of priority not only in Malaysia, but also globally. Chapter 22 of Agenda 21, agreed to at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, called for appropriate treatment, storage and handling facilities, as well as additional legal and administrative control mechanisms, to be developed and made available for these radioactive wastes.

"LOW-LEVEL" RADIOACTIVE WASTE "Low-Level" Radioactive Waste is one of the most misleading terms ever created. In the U.S., it is all nuclear waste that is not legally high-level waste, some transuranic waste, or mill tailings. High-Level Radioactive Waste is: the irradiated fuel from the cores of nuclear reactors, the liquid and sludge wastes that are left over after irradiated fuel has been reprocessed (a procedure used to extract uranium and plutonium), the solid that would result from efforts to solidify that liquid and sludge from reprocessing. Transuranic Waste is material contaminated with radioactive elements heavier than uranium, such as plutonium, neptunium, americium and curium. These elements: have extremely long hazardous liveshundreds of thousands to millions of years and emit alpha radiation a type of radiation that is especially dangerous if inhaled or swallowed. Some transuranic waste is allowed in the "low-level" radioactive waste category. In 1983, when the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) adopted regulations on land disposal of radioactive waste (lOCFR61), it increased the allowable concentration of transuranics in "low-level" radioactive waste.

Radiation Exposure It also results from nuclear reactors being decommissioned and other nuclear facilities that are permanently shut down. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission separates wastes into two broad classifications: high-level or low-level waste. HIGH-LEVEL WASTE High-level radioactive waste is uranium fuel that has been used in a nuclear power reactor and is "spent" or is no longer efficient in generating power to the reactor to produce electricity. Spent fuel is thermally hot as well as being highly radioactive, requiring remote handling and shielding.

IEER Classifications of Radioactive Waste What's high? What's low? How are classifications decided? 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. Some Classifications of Radioactive Waste Category of Radioactive Waste Definition High-Level Waste (HLW) Spent Fuel: irradiated commercial reactor fuel 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.

Map showing locations Map showing region Established: Late 1952 Original Mission: Solid, low-level radioactive waste disposal; burial of transuranic waste and hazardous substances, such as organic and inorganic chemicals (-1970); storage of transuranic waste on a pad above ground and disposal of other waste in 20 pits, 58 trenches and 21 soil vault rows (1970-present). Current Mission: Interim storage of transuranic waste; shipment of stored transuranic waste to WIPP for permanent disposal. FFA/CO Designation: Waste Area Group (WAG) 7 The Radioactive Waste Management Complex (RWMC) is used to manage solid transuranic waste and solid low-level radioactive waste generated in national defense and research programs. The facility also supports research and development projects dedicated to safe, environmentally responsible shallow land burial technology, waste retrieval and processing technology, and temporary storage and treatment of transuranic waste destined for the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) near Carlsbad, New Mexico. Waste shipments to WIPP from RWMC began in 1999 and will continue until DOE meets its commitment for the safe, permanent, cost-effective disposal of legacy wastes remaining from the nation's successful Cold War effort. (Waste shipments out of Idaho are also a key component in the 1995 settlement agreement between the DOE, U.S. Navy, and the State of Idaho.)

In 1992, the Commonwealth Government, supported by the states and territories, began an Australia-wide search for a suitable site for the disposal of Australia's low level and short-lived intermediate level radioactive waste.
