A comprehensive review is given of the principles and problems involved in the safe disposal of radioactive wastes. The first part is devoted to a study of the basic facts of radioactivity and of nuclear fission, the characteristics of radioisotopes, the effects of ionizing radiations, and the maximum permissible levels of ...

This article is a book review. The book contains a detailed look at the safe handling and disposal of radioactive wastes. The nature and hazards of radioactivity are discussed. A description of the fuel cycle is presented. A detailed account of the history of radioactive ...

An assessment of factors which will probably need to be taken into account in selecting potential sites for the disposal of high-level radioactive wastes into geological formations beneath the ocean floor is presented based in part on a survey of availabl...

The conversion of high level radioactive liquid wastes into glass is now considered in every nuclear country. The glass composition must take into account the components of the solutions and be formulated in order to meet certain requirements, mainly thos...

An evaluation of the safety aspects of the design and operation of temporary/mobile radioactive waste solidification systems in use at commercial nuclear power reactors was completed. The study was undertaken in response to a General Accounting Office rep...
