Interim Storage Risk. Reprocessing is tricky. Reprocessing: separating the elements in the highly radioactive spent fuel. Small reactors that produce medical isotopes reprocess the spent fuel to obtain the highly radioactive isotopes for medical uses.. Problems and Trends of Development. (Georgian case). Giorgi. . Nabakhtiani. Georgian-German Science Bridge, Workshop 6-12July, Tbilisi, Georgia. (IAEA definitions). Radioactive waste:. Radioactive material for which no further use is foreseen. . Can those costs be justified by energy security and . radioactive waste reduction?. Frank von Hippel. . Program on Science and Global Security, Princeton University and International Panel on Fissile Materials. Russian experience and new reactor deals. . Vladimir . Slivyak. Russian industry. State nuclear corporation “. Rosatom. ” established in 2007 (owned by the government but its shares can be sold whenever gov’t decides so)/there is national operator for radioactive wastes in the corporation. Fission produces highly radioactive isotopes. All of the highly radioactive materials on earth have been produced by fission.. Cs-137 (Cesium-137). Cs-137 is . produced by nuclear fission . for use in medical devices and gauges. . NUCP2311. Low Level and High Waste Treatment Options. Low level . diluted . dispersed. If short T. 1/2 . can let decay. High level. Usually concentrated . Needs to be contained. Isolate from environment. Waste from . Nuclear Power Plants. What you need to know about Nuclear Power Plant Waste:. Nuclear Waste. Some radioactive. Types of radioactive waste. Low-level waste. High-level waste . Disposal and storage. MAnagement. 1. Reprocessing Concepts. Break down the spent nuclear fuel to separate the useful actinides (U, Pu, etc.) from the fission product and waste elements.. Many actinides have half lives on the order of 100,000 to 1,000,000,000 years.. NIMBY. The current methods of storage are running out of space and are not intended for long-term use. The government was required by the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982 to provide long-term storage for waste. 1 NUCLEAR POWER – Part 3 The Nuclear Fuel Cycle ENV-5022B Low Carbon Energy 2016 - 17 N.K.
