1. NATIONAL FRAMEWORK FOR MANAGEMENT AND REGULATION OF RADIOACTIVE WASTE AND DECOMMISSIONING 1.1 National framework 1.1.1 Overview of national policy The Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) of the Korean government developed the “National Radioactive Waste Management Policy” at the 249 th meeting held on September 30, 1998. The policy stipulates that the site selection process for radioactive waste ...

High concentration of Cs is present in high-level radioactive waste. It well-known that an alkali element and difficult to extract completely into organic phase. Crown ether compounds are widely available for extractants; DtBuDB18C6 (di-t-butyl-dibenzo-18crown6), was used this study. Organic solvents the industrial applications, such as n-dodecane 1-octanol, have low solubility concerning compo...

background: poorly educated people in some parts of iran use burned mantles as a wound healing medicine. materials and methods: to perform surface area measurement, twenty rats were divided randomly into two groups of 10 animals each. the first group received topical burned radioactive lantern mantle powder on the first to third days after making excision wounds. the second group received non-r...

Geological Disposal Facilities (GDF) for radioactive waste will generally rely on clay-rich materials as a host geological formation and/or engineered barrier. Gas be produced within the GDF, which can build up significant gas pressure and activate migration of through clay via different transport mechanisms. These mechanisms are usually investigated in laboratory tests small samples few centim...

In nuclear fission, a radioactive material like Uranium-235 is induced to decay into different element, converting some of its mass energy in the process. This process extracts stupendous quantities without CO2 emissions. Nuclear fission safe, preserving lives and likely environment, although more research needed regarding waste; it creates bonanza high-paying jobs; essential replacing coal com...
