Abstract

Radioaktivni otpad primarno nastaje radom i razgradnjom nuklearnih elektrana i reaktora, proizvodnjom nuklearnog oružja i primjenom u medicini, industriji i istraživanju. Ovaj otpad obuhvaća različite oblike i materijale, od kojih svaki ima različita svojstva, razine radioaktivnosti i vremena poluraspada. Osnovna podjela radioaktivnog otpada s obzirom na radioaktivnost je na nisko, srednje i visoko radioaktivni otpad. Najveći izazov predstavljaju visoko radioaktivni otpad i istrošeno nuklearno gorivo zbog svoje visoke razine radioaktivnosti. Odgovorno gospodarenje radioaktivnim otpadom uključuje pažljivo rukovanje, skladištenje i odlaganje radioaktivnog materijala kako bi se zaštitilo ljudsko zdravlje i okoliš kako sada tako i u budućnosti.

Abstract (english)

Radioactive waste is generated primarily during the operation and decommissioning of nuclear power plants and reactors, the manufacture of nuclear weapons, and other uses of radioactive materials in medicine, industry, and research. This waste includes various forms and materials, each with different properties, levels of radioactivity, and half-lives. The basic classification of radioactive waste is by radioactivity: low, medium, and high. The main challenge in managing high-level radioactive waste and spent fuel is its high radioactivity. Responsible handling of radioactive waste requires careful handling, storage and disposal of radioactive materials to protect human health and the environment now and in the future.
