Natural Activity Concentrations and Fluxes as Indicators for the Safety Assessment of Radioactive Waste Disposal | IAEA

They include requirements for the protection of human health and the environment (Section 2); the means for demonstrating compliance with safety requirements (Section 3); an outline

The principles of radioactive waste management were taken into account in the formulation of the objectives and criteria for protection to apply in the development, operation

Low and intermediate level radioactive waste (LILW), containing both short and long lived radionuclides, is produced in the nuclear industry from activities such as

INTERNATIONAL ATOMIC ENERGY AGENCY, Safety Assessment for Near Surface Disposal of Radioactive Waste, Safety Standards Series No.WS-G.1.1, IAEA, Vienna (1999). INTERNATIONAL

The purpose of this publication is to present an approach for establishing radiological waste acceptance criteria using a safety assessment methodology and to illustrate

In view of possible radionuclide migration only taking place after long time scales, the use of safety indicators, other than dose and risk, to assess and confirm the safety

For example, consideration of the socio-economic context of the local human community provides a basis for the subsequent identification of potentially exposed groups for

For high level and long lived radioactive waste, the consensus of the waste management experts internationally is that disposal in deep underground engineered facilities —
