Publisher's Synopsis
The management of radioactive waste, its safe handling and ultimate disposal, is of vital concern to engineers in the nuclear industry. The papers presented in this book discuss and compare different methods of waste management used in Europe and America. Papers presented and discussed included the interaction between the design of containers for low level radioactive waste and the design of a deep repository, commercial low level waste disposal sites in the United States and the development of radioactive waste monitoring systems at the Sellafield reprocessing complex.
