Radioactive Waste - The Journey to Disposal
23 September 2014
Producer: Louise Potterton, Video Editor: Petr Pavlicek
Nuclear technologies benefit people everywhere. Radioactive
sources are used to sterilize food and medical instruments, to develop
improved crops and to diagnose and treat patients. Research reactors are
used in science and for producing radioisotopes for medical use and 30
countries use nuclear power for energy production. These various uses of
nuclear technologies generate waste like many other processes. To
ensure that it poses no risk to people or the environment now and in the
future all countries using nuclear technologies have the responsibility
to manage radioactive waste safely and securely.Video
