The main objective of managing and disposing of radioactive waste is to protect people and the environment. This means isolating or diluting the waste so that the rate or concentration of any radionuclides returned to the biosphere is harmless. To achieve this, practically all wastes are contained and managed. The book looks at the entire process of nuclear waste management beginning from the initial treatment of waste to its final disposal in deep geological repositories, spent fuel pool, and on ocean floors.
