Management of long lived low activity radioactive waste in India
Description
Long lived radioactive waste is waste containing radionuclides having half-lives of more than 30 years and is primarily dominated by alpha-emitting radionuclides. In India, waste containing alpha-emitters in concentrations of more than 4000 Bq/g are classified as long lived waste and categorized as Category IV solid waste. This waste is generated during fuel fabrication, reprocessing of spent fuels and research and development activities. The paper covers waste generation, treatment, conditioning and interim storage of long lived low active waste in India. (author)
