LLRW
LLRW stands for Low-Level Radioactive Waste. It is defined as radioactive waste, other than high-level radioactive waste, spent nuclear fuel, transuranic waste, or byproduct byproduct material as defined in section 11e(2) of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954. LLRW typically originates from various sources, including nuclear power plants, medical facilities, academic institutions, and industrial radiography.
The radioactivity levels in LLRW are relatively low, and it generally has a short half-life. Common examples
Management of LLRW involves several steps, including segregation, treatment, and disposal. Segregation is crucial to separate
