Less long lived radioactive waste is produced the waste material would decay after 500 years to the radioactive level of coal ash.

Dumping of radioactive waste

Localization, transport and burial of radioactive waste, deactivating materials and maintaining radioactive waste repositories

The concern is not only about highly radioactive waste resulting from powerplants but even about lower medium level radioactive waste, sometimes raising problems for further use of modern nuclear techniques in medicine.

Uranium and other radioactive substances, products made of such substances and radioactive waste

A radioactive waste management strategy was adopted in 2004.

It should also strengthen its radioactive waste management programme.

9) storage, use and control of radioactive substances and waste

Moreover, radioactive waste offered an attractive target for terrorist sabotage.

As one of the countries which have subscribed to the code of practice on the international movement of radioactive waste, my country appreciates ongoing efforts to evaluate the health and environmental risks posed by the dumping of high level radioactive wastes in the Arctic Ocean.

With regard to the management of radioactive waste, we appreciate the establishment of the Radioactive Waste Safety Standards (RADWASS) programme, which seeks to provide member States with guidelines for the safe management of radioactive wastes.

The radioactive waste resulting from reprocessing will be adequately conditioned and permanently stored in a waste repository.

In reactors, the radioactive products are the nuclear waste in spent fuel.

However, his delegation was not willing to define radioactive waste dumping as radiological warfare.

We support the idea of a special convention on the safety of radioactive waste.

International regulations and standards for radioactive protection, national strategies for nuclear energy development, and safety and radioactive waste management measures have been substantially revised.

It also prohibits any nuclear explosions and the disposal of radioactive waste material in Antarctica.

Solomon Islands is gravely concerned about the dumping of radioactive and other waste at sea.

These include measures to prohibit military activities, nuclear explosions and the disposal of radioactive waste.

The adoption by consensus of IAEA apos s Code of Practice on the International Transboundary Movement of Radioactive Waste in 1990 underscores the political commitment of States to prevent any unauthorized transboundary movement of radioactive waste.

Although the disposal of radioactive waste is clearly a local matter, the extremely long periods during which some wastes remain active creates a common international interest that radioactive waste anywhere on the planet be responsibly handled.

Calls for tighter security for high activity radioactive sources.

Calls for tighter security for high activity radioactive sources.

Joint Convention on the Safety of Spent Fuel Management and the Safety of Radioactive Waste Management

I also wish to express our concern over Russia apos s ocean dumping of radioactive waste.

The Agency apos s programme of strengthening waste management practices within national boundaries should be complemented at the international level by cooperation to frustrate continuing attempts by unscrupulous merchants of death to dump radioactive wastes and toxic substances in the high seas.

The plan of action concentrates on four main areas nuclear safety safety of nuclear fuel and radioactive waste monitoring of radioactive contamination and weapons related environmental problems.

While non binding radioactive waste safety standards already exist, work is expected before long on a binding convention on the safe management and disposal of radioactive wastes.

IAEA is prepared to send experts on request to any member State requiring assistance related to radioactive waste problems, including any quot dumping quot of radioactive material.

Radioactive waste is managed in accordance with the technical criteria of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

Attention was also given to dealing with radioactive waste, radiation safety and the safety of nuclear installations.

the appropriate forum for considering the transboundary movement of radioactive waste was the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

Priority areas in need of remedial action are fuel contaminated soil and groundwater, and chemical and radioactive waste sites.

Article 18 of the Act prohibits introduction into Jordanian territory of any radioactive derivatives, such as radioactive waste or residue, or their use, processing, transport, storage, licensing or burial in that territory.

As is well known, some sea disposal of radioactive waste has occurred despite the recommended moratorium and has caused concern.

104. IAEA apos s programme on radioactive waste management reflects the integrated approach as it covers all of the steps involved in waste management (minimization, treatment, conditioning, storage and disposal).
