The papers in this volume have been written and brought together by a group of experts, each of whom deals with radioactive waste management on a daily basis, as well as having the deep knowledge and level of expertise that only industry insiders can achieve. Topics covered here include: treatment issues; waste mangement practice; transport and storage; and environment and regulations.
Part 1 Treatment issues: the new Dounreay low-level liquid effluent treatment plan The disposal of a radioactive cell Technical and operational risk management strategies for the Sellafield Drypac Plant (SDP). Decontamination and waste minimization techniques in nuclear decommissioning Transuranic waste management at Los Alamos National Laboratory Disposition of Russian nuclear submarines - outlines of the concept and implementation problems Management of accumulated operational wastes at BNFL's decommissioning reactor sites. Engineering considerations associated wtih plant used for storage of intermediate level waste - a regulator's view The packaging of waste for safe long-term management Independent monitoring of solid low-level radioactive waste disposals in the UK Round robin test for the non-destructive assay of 220 litre radioactive waste packages The feasibility of surface for high-level waste. Contained water management within the Chernobyl "shelter object" ALARP as applied to high-level waste - the regulatory approach at Sellafield Radiation safety problems arising with damaged nuclear submarines utilization Experience in nuclear decommissioning and waste management Disposal of radioactive waste - a puzzle in four dimensions.
Part 2 Waste management practice: radiation inheritance of Russian nuclear fleet and ecological safety problems relating to utilization of nuclear submarines and rehabilitation of other facilities in the Navy
Part 3 Transport and storage: transportation of spent fuel in Japan
Part 4 Environmental and regulation: application of in-line monitoring to waste minimization during soil remediation
