Geochemical Aspects of Radioactive Waste Disposal
Author: D. G. Brookins
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1461382548
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 349
Book Description
There is an extremely voluminous literature on radioactive waste and its disposal, much in the form of government-sponsored research reports. To wade through this mountain of literature is indeed a tedious task, and it is safe to speculate that very few, if any, individuals have the time to examine each report that has been issued during the preceding ten years. This book attempts to summarize much of this literature. Further, many workers in the geosciences have not received training in the nuclear sciences, and many nuclear scientists could be better versed in geology. In this book an attempt is made to cover some background material on radioactive wastes and geotoxicity that may not be an integral part of a geologist's training, and background material on geology and geochemistry for the nuclear scientist. The geochemical material is designed for both the geoscientist and the nuclear scientist. There is no specific level for this book. Certainly, it should be useful to advanced undergraduates and graduates studying geology and nuclear science. It does not pretend to cover a tremendous amount of detail in all subjects, yet the references cited provide the necessary source materials for follow-up study. It is my intention that the reader of this book will have a better, broader understanding of the geochemical aspects of radioactive waste disposal than is otherwise available in anyone source.

Geological Disposal of Carbon Dioxide and Radioactive Waste: A Comparative Assessment
Author: Ferenc L. Toth
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9048187125
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 639
Book Description
Fossil fuels will remain the backbone of the global energy economy for the foreseeable future. The contribution of nuclear energy to the global energy supply is also expected to increase. With the pressing need to mitigate climate change and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the fossil energy industry is exploring the possibility of carbon dioxide disposal in geological media. Geological disposal has been studied for decades by the nuclear industry with a view to ensuring the safe containment of its wastes. Geological disposal of carbon dioxide and that of radioactive waste gives rise to many common concerns in domains ranging from geology to public acceptance. In this respect, comparative assessments reveal many similarities, ranging from the transformation of the geological environment and safety and monitoring concerns to regulatory, liability and public acceptance issues. However, there are profound differences on a broad range of issues as well, such as the quantities and hazardous features of the materials to be disposed of, the characteristics of the targeted geological media, the site engineering technologies involved and the timescales required for safe containment at the disposal location. There are ample opportunities to learn from comparisons and to derive insights that will assist policymakers responsible for national energy strategies and international climate policies.

Radioactivity and Nuclear Waste Disposal
Author: Foo-Sun Lau
Publisher: Wiley-Blackwell
ISBN:
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 654
Book Description
A thorough account of the nature and consequences of ionizing radiation at the physical, biological, and medical levels. This work also covers the origins of radioactive waste in nations worldwide and the present policies adopted by many nations for their processing, storage, and disposal. The initial coverage of the scientific aspects of radioactive waste at several levels allows readers to fully consider the feasibility of the options adopted in other nations and to consider safer and more cost-effective alternatives. Includes appendixes of physical constants, conversion factors, and radioactivity of the nuclides.
