Description
Advanced separations technology is key to the nuclear fuel cycle in order to relieve future generations from the burden of today's nuclear power industry and ensure protection from radioactive materials. This book provides a comprehensive and timely reference on nuclear fuel reprocessing and radioactive waste treatment. It features characterization and analysis of the behavior of the main radioactive materials produced by nuclear power generation, the processes involved in their treatment, as well as novel methods used in treating these materials. This book is also useful to those handling nuclear materials from other sources, including legacy/historic waste.
