Radioactive Waste Classification in the Russian Federation and the USA
https://doi.org/10.1134/S2079562920040053
Abstract
Approaches to the system of radioactive waste classification in the USA and the Russian Federation were considered. The variety of sources of radioactive waste generation is shown. The necessity of radio-active waste classification and characterization is justified. The main problems in the fieldì of radioactive waste management in two countries are outlined, the ways of development of two systems to improve the activity of radioactive waste management are presented. The basic principles of assessing the sustainability in the field of radioactive waste management INPRO and reducing the potential exposure of personnel and population of ALARA are shown. Comparisons of two national systems of radioactive waste classification were made and compliance with the IAEA recommendations was assessed.
