Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Examining nuclear waste issues, including natural levels of radionuclides in the environment, the geological disposal of waste-forms, and their long-term behaviour, this edition covers important aspects of processing and immobilisation, including nuclear decay, regulations, new technologies and methods. The book has been updated to include a discussion of the disposal of nuclear waste from non-energy sources, also adding a chapter on the nuclear fuel cycle. Significant focus is given to the analysis of the various matrices used, especially cement and glass, with further discussion of other matrices, such as bitumen. The book's final chapter concentrates on the performance assessment of immobilising materials and safety of disposal, providing a full range of resources needed to understand and correctly immobilise nuclear waste.
