This book reports on radioactive materials utilized in a broad range of activities that have become essential to our way of life. Radioactive waste is an unavoidable by-product of all of those applications and remains a focus of public concern. Recent legislation requires that all states make provisions for the disposal of their low-level radioactive waste (LLRW) by 1993. The book presents an overview of the entire LLRW disposal issue and offers detailed analyses of: the sources of LLRW; the history of LLRW disposal; current management and disposal alternatives, including all the latest technical methods; and future trends in waste disposal.
