Low and intermediate level nuclear waste management
In the third of our Navigating Nuclear series, join us for an insightful session on the management of low and intermediate level nuclear waste.
This session will cover the types of waste generated during nuclear power plant operations, historic methods of on-site storage, and the unique challenges faced during end-of-life decommissioning.
We will explore waste retrieval and processing techniques, interim on-site storage solutions, and final disposal strategies.
Below are the links to the two previous events of this series for reference:
Part 1: Navigating nuclear: lessons, risks and future paths
Part 2: Navigating nuclear reactor technology
Learning outcomes
In this presentation, you will gain an understanding of:
the types of low level waste and intermediate level waste generated in nuclear power plant operation
historic methods of on-site storage
end of live decommissioning challenges
waste retrieval and processing
interim storage on-site
final disposal
