Overview

In the third of our Navigating Nuclear series, join us for an insightful session on the management of low and intermediate-level nuclear waste. This session will cover the types of waste generated during nuclear power plant operations, historic methods of on-site storage, and the unique challenges faced during end-of-life decommissioning. We will explore waste retrieval and processing techniques, interim on-site storage solutions, and final disposal strategies.
