Management of radioactive waste and its safe and secure disposal is a necessary step in the lifecycle of all applications of nuclear science and technology (nuclear energy, research, industry, education, medical, and others).
Dry cask storage is a method of storing high-level radioactive waste, such as spent nuclear fuel that has already been cooled in a spent fuel pool for at least one year and often as much as ten years. [1] [2] Casks are typically steel cylinders that are either welded or bolted closed. The fuel rods inside are surrounded by inert gas. Ideally ...
The UK Government, in common with many other countries and supported by scientific advice, has identified permanent deep underground disposal as the most appropriate means of disposing of higher activity radioactive waste. Radioactive Waste Management (RWM) was established in 2014 to deliver a Geological Disposal Facility (GDF) and is a ...
The Bio-medical Waste (Management and Handling) Rules, 1998 and further amendments were passed for the regulation of bio-medical waste management. On 28 March 2016 Biomedical Waste Management Rules (BMW 2016) [15] were also notified by Central Govt. Each state's Pollution Control Board or Pollution control Committee will be responsible for ...
