DOWNLOAD EBOOKPlanning for the management of nuclear wastes -- whatever their level of radioactivity -- is one of the most important environmental problems for all societies that produce utility, industrial, medical, or other radioactive waste products. Attemps to site low-level radioactive waste disposal facilities in Western industrial societies, however, have repeatedly engendered conflicts between governments, encountered vehement opposition on the part of local citizen groups, and given rise to overt hostilities among involved parties. LLRW Disposal Facility Siting is the result of a study designed to learn more about the causes underlying failed and successful efforts to site LLRW disposal facilities. The study is based on case histories of LLRW disposal facility siting processes in six countries. Siting processes in five states within the United States and in five additional countries are analyzed using information obtained from public documents and supplemented by interviews with key participants. The selected states and countries are major generators of LLRW and each has made efforts to establish LLRW disposal facilities during the past decade. They vary widely in the approaches they have adopted to LLRW management, the institutional structures developed for managing the siting process, the means used to involve stakeholders and technical experts in the facility siting process and the amount and type of data used in making decisions. The analysis of these case histories provides general lessons about the advantages, disadvantages, strengths, and weaknesses of the various approaches that have been attempted or implemented. LLRW Disposal Facility Siting provides valuable data for academics and researchers working in the area of environmental management.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKConsiders the politics of low-level and intermediate-level radioactive waste disposal (high-level waste is another kettle of [toxic] fish altogether, just now beginning to enter the political arena) from a comparative international perspective in order to discover what factors impinge upon the overriding need for legitimate and publicly acceptable solutions.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAs the Cold War drew to a close, the Dept. of Energy (DoE) shifted its focus from producing nuclear weapons to cleaning up the contaminated facilities where it had produced them. Over the next several decades, DoE expects to dispose of about 2.1 mill. cubic meters of low-level and mixed wastes where it operates disposal facilities. Concerned that DoE may not be managing and disposing of its wastes as cost-effectively as possible, this report reviews (1) the factors that influence DoE's decisions about the treat., storage, and disposal of wastes, and (2) DoE's costs to treat, store, and dispose of these wastes and the cost-effectiveness of DoE's disposal decisions.
