The media interest in the radioactive waste management industry has raised the role of surrounding issues. The papers in this volume have been written and brought together by a group of experts, each of whom deals with radioactive waste management on a daily basis.

The papers in this volume have been written and brought together by a group of experts, each of whom deals with radioactive waste management on a daily basis, as well as having the deep knowledge and level of expertise that only industry insiders can achieve. Topics covered here include: treatment issues; waste mangement practice; transport and storage; and environment and regulations. "Radioactive Waste Management 2000" contains business scenarios from around the world, offering an understanding of operating conditions, regulatory issues and resources available in various countries. Those involved in strategy and implementation should find new insights and solutions. This book should prove useful to all those individuals and companies with an interest or involvement in the radioactive waste management industry.
