This new edition of Radioactive Waste Management begins with an overview of source of radioactive waste, and continues, covering topics such as: radiation shielding calculations; management and disposal of spent nuclear fuel and high-level waste; decontamination and decommissioning of nuclear facilities; and environmental restoration. The author presents the technical and regulatory aspects of waste management and goes on to provide discussion questions at the end of each chapter, providing the reader an opportunity to explore many of the facets of waste management issues. An extensive reference section at the end of each chapter retains the references from the first edition of the book and incorporates references used in preparing this revised text, giving the reader the opportunity to look at historical records as well as current information.
