An Introduction to Nuclear Waste Immobilisation

Drawing on the authors' extensive experience in the processing and disposal of waste, An Introduction to Nuclear Waste Immobilisation, Second Edition examines the gamut of nuclear waste issues from the natural level of radionuclides in the environment to geological disposal of waste-forms and their long-term behavior. It covers all-important aspects of processing and immobilization, including nuclear decay, regulations, new technologies and methods. Significant focus is given to the analysis of the various matrices used, especially cement and glass, with further discussion of other matrices such as bitumen. The final chapter concentrates on the performance assessment of immobilizing materials and safety of disposal, providing a full range of the resources needed to understand and correctly immobilize nuclear waste. The fully revised second edition focuses on core technologies and has an integrated approach to immobilization and hazards. Each chapter focuses on a different matrix used in nuclear waste immobilization: cement, bitumen, glass and new materialsKeeps the most important issues surrounding nuclear waste - such as treatment schemes and technologies and disposal - at the forefront.

  • "This book focuses on nuclear waste immobilisation and nuclear waste processing. It covers recent developments and technological achievements in the field, as well as nuclear waste characterisation, selection of optimal processing (including immobilisation) schemes, storage, and transportation."@en
  • "Covers important aspects of immobilisation, from nuclear decay, to regulations, to new technologies, and methods. This work focuses on the analysis of various matrices used in transport: cement, bitumen and glass, with the greatest attention being given to glass. It also concentrates on the performance assessment of each matrix."@en
  • "Safety and environmental impact is of uppermost concern when dealing with the movement and storage of nuclear waste. The 20 chapters in "An Introduction to Nuclear Waste Immobilisation" cover all important aspects of immobilisation, from nuclear decay, to regulations, to new technologies and methods. Significant focus is given to the analysis of the various matrices used in transport: cement, bitumen and glass, with the greatest attention being given to glass. The last chapter concentrates on the performance assessment of each matrix, and on new developments of ceramics and glass composite materials, thermochemical methods and in-situ metal matrix immobilisation. The book thoroughly covers all issues surrounding nuclear waste: from where to locate nuclear waste in the environment, through nuclear waste generation and sources, treatment schemes and technologies, immobilisation technologies and waste forms, disposal and long term behaviour. Particular attention is paid to internationally approved and worldwide-applied approaches and technologies. Each chapter focuses on a different matrix used in nuclear waste immobilisation: Cement, bitumen, glass and new materials.; It keeps the most important issues surrounding nuclear waste such as treatment schemes and technologies, and disposal - at the forefront."@en
