To provide learners with a high level appraisal of the underlying principles of radioactive waste management and decommissioning.
Outline
- Nuclear waste management:
– System of Clearance, discharge, disposal, recycling and re-use
– Regulated management and disposal of
radioactive waste - Nuclear fuel disposal:
– Disposal options
