WORLDWIDE ADVANCES IN RADIOACTIVE WASTE MANAGEMENT

 

IAEA Waste Management Reports Produced Between July 1999-July 2000

Nuclear and Radiological Safety - Waste Repositories
http://www.iaea.org/worldatom/Books/1999Pubs/nrswr99.shtml

Hydrogeological Investigation of Sites for the Geological Disposal of Radioactive Waste
Technical Reports Series No. 391
This report, which has been prepared as part of the IAEA sub-programme on radioactive waste disposal, discusses the approaches used in the hydrogeological investigation of repository sites. It is based on experience gained in the Member States on those rock types considered as having the potential to host a repository.
(Date 1999, ISBN 92-0-100299-8)

Nuclear and Radiological Safety - Radioactive Waste Management
Safety Standard Series
http://www.iaea.org/worldatom/Books/1999Pubs/nrsrwm99.shtml

Near Surface Disposal of Radioactive Waste: Safety Requirements
Safety Standards Series No. WS-R-1

This Safety Requirements publication sets out the basic safety requirements related to the disposal of radioactive wastes in near surface repositories. As a Safety Requirements publication it is supported by a number of associated Safety Guides which provide guidance on the implementation of the requirements. Its principles are derived from the Safety Fundamentals publication: Safety Series No. 111-F, The Principles of Radioactive Waste Management. It includes requirements for the protection of human health, for the assessment procedures needed to ensure that safety is achieved, and technical requirements for waste acceptance and for siting, design, construction, operation and closure of the repository and the post-closure phase.
(Date 1999, ISBN 92-0-101099-0)

Safety Assessment for Near Surface Disposal of Radioactive Waste: A Safety Guide
Safety Standards Series No. WS-G-1.1
This Safety Guide provides recommendations on how to meet the requirements related to safety assessment in the Safety Requirements publication, Safety Standards Series No. WS-R-1, Near Surface Disposal of Radioactive Waste (1999). It addresses the subject of safety assessment for near surface disposal of radioactive waste and provides guidance on approaches to performing safety assessments in the context of near surface repositories.
(Date 1999, ISBN 92-0-101299-3)

Decommissioning of Nuclear Plants and Research Reactors: Safety Guide
Safety Standards Series No. WS-G-2.1
This Safety Guide addresses the subject of how to meet the requirements for decommissioning of nuclear power plants and research reactors laid down in the Safety Requirements publication, Safety Standards Series No. WS-R-2, Predisposal Management of Radioactive Waste, Including Decommissioning. It provides guidance to national authorities and operating organisations on the planning and safe management of the decommissioning of such installations.
(Date 1999, ISBN 92-0-102599-8)

Decommissioning of Medical, Industrial and Research Facilities: Safety Guide
Safety Standards Series No. WS-G-2.2
This Safety Guide addresses the subject of how to meet the requirements for the decommissioning of medical, industrial and research facilities where radioactive materials and sources are produced, received, used and stored, as laid down in the Safety Requirements publication, Safety Standards Series No. WS-R-2, Predisposal Management of Radioactive Waste, Including Decommissioning. It provides guidance to national authorities and operating organisations, particularly to those in developing countries (as such facilities are predominant in these countries) on the planning and safe management of the decommissioning of such facilities.
(Date 1999, ISBN 92-0-102099-6)

Nuclear Fuel Cycle and Waste Management - Waste Management
http://www.iaea.org/worldatom/Books/1999Pubs/nfcwmwm99.shtml

State of the Art Technology for Decontamination and Dismantling of Nuclear Facilities
Technical Reports Series No. 395
This report is a review of the current state of the art of technologies used for the decommissioning of nuclear facilities, including technologies for decontamination and dismantling, waste management and remote systems. It summarises practical experience gained over the last 10 to 15 years in the field of decommissioning
