Radioactive wastes are generated from a wide range of sources,
including the power industry, and medical and scientific research
institutions, presenting a range of challenges in dealing with a
diverse set of radionuclides of varying concentrations.
Conditioning technologies are essential for the encapsulation and
immobilisation of these radioactive wastes, forming the initial
engineered barrier required for their transportation, storage and
disposal. The need to ensure the long term performance of
radioactive waste forms is a key driver of the development of
advanced conditioning technologies.
The Handbook of advanced radioactive waste conditioning
technologies provides a comprehensive and systematic reference on
the various options available and under development for the
treatment and immobilisation of radioactive wastes. The book opens
with an introductory chapter on radioactive waste characterisation
and selection of conditioning technologies. Part one reviews the
main radioactive waste treatment processes and conditioning
technologies, including volume reduction techniques such as
compaction, incineration and plasma treatment, as well as
encapsulation methods such as cementation, calcination and
vitrification. This coverage is extended in part two, with in-depth
reviews of the development of advanced materials for radioactive
waste conditioning, including geopolymers, glass and ceramic
matrices for nuclear waste immobilisation, and waste packages and
containers for disposal. Finally, part three reviews the long-term
performance assessment and knowledge management techniques
applicable to both spent nuclear fuels and solid radioactive waste
forms.
With its distinguished international team of contributors, the
Handbook of advanced radioactive waste conditioning technologies is
a standard reference for all radioactive waste management
professionals, radiochemists, academics and researchers involved in
the development of the nuclear fuel cycle.
