_Nuclear Waste Management Facilities: Advances, Environmental Impacts,
and Future Prospects_ examines best practices and recent trends in
improving nuclear safety and reducing the negative environmental
impacts of nuclear waste. With strong emphasis on regulatory
requirements, this reference is essential for designing new integrated
waste management practices, using lessons learned from historical and
current practices.
Divided into three key sections, Part One introduces the reader to the
safety and environmental impacts of the nuclear industry. Part Two
reviews recent technological and methodological approaches to
enhancing safety, as well as reducing the carbon footprint of both
individual processes and integrated facilities. Topics covered include
waste processing, transmutation and decommissioning. Part Three
consider potential management schemes for special waste from
innovative sources, and wastes that contain emerging contaminants,
including waste recycling opportunities.
_Nuclear Waste Management Facilities: Advances, Environmental Impacts,
and Future Prospects _is a crucial tool needed to implement the safest
and most environmentally considerate best practices within nuclear
waste management facilities.
* Presents recent approaches used to assess and improve the safety
and reduce the environmental impacts of nuclear waste management
facilities
* Offers technical guidance to support the development and defense of
the environmental impact assessment (EIA) and Safety Cases to support
the waste management facilities licensing throughout their lifecycles
* Highlights the future perspectives for wastes produced from
innovative reactors and wastes containing emerging contaminants, and
recycling opportunities
