New Solidification Materials in Nuclear Waste Management

Radiation Effects in Nuclear Waste Materials

Hazardous Materials & Hazardous Waste Management

The Hazardous Material Removal Program will provide all academic departments and faculty with the opportunity to dispose of unneeded hazardous chemicals and radioactive material with no EH&S recharge. The disposal program will be organized building by building and advanced notice will be given to each department. Radioactive waste and materials along with routine chemical waste will be collecte...

Actinide Separation Chemistry in Nuclear Waste Streams and Materials

3 FOREWORD The separation of actinide elements from various waste materials is a significant problem facing developed countries. The issue arises primarily because of the potential long-term hazard of many of the actinides, but is also due to the regulatory requirements associated with actinide waste disposal, which are different from those associated with other radioactive wastes. The differen...

Testing Stabilization/solidification Processes for Mixed Waste

Stabilization/Solidification technologies reduce the mobility of hazardous and radioactive contaminants in the environment through both physical and chemical processes. Four stabilization/solidification (S/S) processes were used to solidify three sample matrices contaminated with arsenic, chromium (VI), lead, cesium and strontium. These sample matrices were Idaho National Engineering and Enviro...

Sustainable waste and materials management: national policy and global perspective.

W generation and resource shortages have long been recognized as two of the greatest challenges human society is facing. In the early 1970s, the Club of Rome, a group of pioneering global thinkers, predicted in their milestone book The Limits to Growth that “if the present growth trends in world population...pollution ... and resource depletion continue unchanged, the limits to growth on this p...
