Advances, Environmental Impacts, and Future Prospects

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Nuclear Waste Management Facilities: Advances, Environmental Impacts, and Future Prospects examines best practices and recent trends in improving nuclear safety and reducing the negative environmental impacts of nuclear waste. With strong emphasis on regulatory requirements, this reference is essential for designing new integrated waste management practices, using lessons learned from historical and current practices.

Divided into three key sections, Part One introduces the reader to the safety and environmental impacts of the nuclear industry. Part Two reviews recent technological and methodological approaches to enhancing safety, as well as reducing the carbon footprint of both individual processes and integrated facilities. Topics covered include waste processing, transmutation and decommissioning. Part Three consider potential management schemes for special waste from innovative sources, and wastes that contain emerging contaminants, including waste recycling opportunities.

Nuclear Waste Management Facilities: Advances, Environmental Impacts, and Future Prospects is a crucial tool needed to implement the safest and most environmentally considerate best practices within nuclear waste management facilities.

• Presents recent approaches used to assess and improve the safety and reduce the environmental impacts of nuclear waste management facilities
• Offers technical guidance to support the development and defense of the environmental impact assessment (EIA) and Safety Cases to support the waste management facilities licensing throughout their lifecycles
• Highlights the future perspectives for wastes produced from innovative reactors and wastes containing emerging contaminants, and recycling opportunities

Autorenporträt

Dr. Rehab O Abdel Rahman is a Professor of Chemical Nuclear Engineering at Hot Laboratories for the Egyptian Atomic Energy Authority (EAEA) in Cairo, Egypt. She worked for more than 25 years in supporting the licensing of radioactive waste management facilities and participated in international projects on the development and implementation of safety cases and safety assessment for those facilities. Her widely published research focuses on radioactive waste management. She supervises post graduate students, teaches undergraduate courses, and supports training activities within EAEA, serves as a member in international scientific committees. She has editorial experience as a managing editor for international journals, guest editor for special issues, and editor of several books, and frequent contributor on the topic of hazardous waste management.
