Handbook of advanced radioactive waste conditioning technologies / edited by Michael I. Ojovan. Ojovan, Michael I. Radioactive waste disposal Handbooks, manuals, etc. TD898 .H358 2011 363.7289 23 HAN Includes bibliographical references and index. Annotation Conditioning technology is essential to the nuclear fuel cycle for the immobilisation and encapsulation of spent nuclear fuels and radioactive wastes, forming the initial engineer barrier required for radioactive waste transportation, storage and disposal. Long term radiological safety is ensured through the performance and durability of conditioned waste, which advanced conditioning technologies and techniques continue to improve upon. This book provides a comprehensive and systematic reference on advanced radioactive waste conditioning technologies. Coverage includes fundamental science and safety criteria, treatment processes and immobilisation technologies, the development of specific types of waste form materials and systems, and performance and safety analysis -- Source other than Library of Congress.
