Proof of concept achieved for sealed source radwaste disposal method

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has announced that successful tests of a "promising technology" for moving and storing low-level radioactive sealed sources are "paving the way" for a new disposal method for dealing with small volumes of radioactive waste around the world. The proof of concept for the technology was tested in Croatia late last year without the use of actual radioactive material, the IAEA said on 11 January.
