Articles general
  • High-level radioactive waste management - "High-level radioactive waste management concerns management and disposal of highly radioactive materials created during production of nuclear power and nuclear warheads... Governments around the world are considering a range of waste management and disposal options, usually involving deep-geologic placement, although there has been limited progress toward implementing long-term waste management solutions. This is partly because the timeframes in question when dealing with radioactive waste range from 10,000 to millions of years, according to studies based on the effect of estimated radiation doses." - Wikipedia
  • Radioactive waste - "Radioactive waste is a waste product containing radioactive material... The main approaches to managing radioactive waste to date have been segregation and storage for short-lived wastes, near-surface disposal for low and some intermediate level wastes, and deep burial or transmutation for the long-lived, high-level wastes." - Wikipedia
