    Nuclear Treatment
AI Thread Summary
Nuclear waste varies in form and radioactivity levels, categorized into low, intermediate, and high-level waste, each requiring different treatment methods. A comprehensive overview of radioactive waste management can be found at the World Nuclear Association website, which includes appendices on treatment, storage, national policies, funding, and ethical aspects. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) website is also recommended for accessing international standards and guidelines related to nuclear power plants. Users express challenges in navigating these resources due to language barriers. Continued exploration of these resources is encouraged for deeper understanding of nuclear waste treatment technologies.

Hi, I'm new here. And i have much wonder about the technology in the field of nuclear waste treatment. I have no idea where to find some info. and resourse.
Can anybody provide some info of them?
Much Thx.

Nuclear 'waste' has different forms and different levels of radioactivity. There are low level, intermediate level and high level waste, where the level refers to amount of radioactivity. Each is treated differently.

Here is a general overview of Radioactive Waste Management.
http://www.world-nuclear.org/info/inf04.html

Note the appendices to the side:

Radioactive Waste Management Appendix 1: Treatment and Conditioning of Nuclear Wastes
Radioactive Waste Management Appendix 2: Storage and Disposal Options
Radioactive Waste Management Appendix 3: National Policies
Radioactive Waste Management Appendix 4: National Funding
Radioactive Waste Management Appendix 5: Environmental and Ethical Aspects of Radioactive Waste Management

Thank you very much for ur help.
I'll have a look at what u give me. After that, maybe we can talk about this problem in detail.

Dear sir, can you give some info about the technology standard of decommissioning of the NPP , thanks

Dear zhenzhenwc,

Have you checked out the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) website? It's full to the brim with international standards and guidelines on virtually every aspect of nuclear power plants, and best of all its completely free for anyone to access.

Worth having a rummage around in if you haven't already.
 
thank you for your advice.
I have really scanned the website of IAEA,and downloaded some report from it.
but, my english is not good enough, so i have to spent a lot of time do separate those resouse,and decide what i want.
Really thanks.

Hello everyone, I am currently working on a burnup calculation for a fuel assembly with repeated geometric structures using MCNP6. I have defined two materials (Material 1 and Material 2) which are actually the same material but located in different positions. However, after running the calculation with the BURN card, I am encountering an issue where all burnup information(power fraction(Initial input is 1,but output file is 0), burnup, mass, etc.) for Material 2 is zero, while Material 1...
