Radiological Characterisation from a Waste and Materials End-State Perspective

Abstract

is a unique forum where the governments of 35 democracies work together to address the economic, social and environmental challenges of globalisation. The OECD is also at the forefront of efforts to understand and to help governments respond to new developments and concerns, such as corporate governance, the information economy and the challenges of an ageing population. The Organisation provides a setting where governments can compare policy experiences, seek answers to common problems, identify good practice and work to coordinate domestic and international policies.

Trace determination of uranium preconcentrated using graphene oxide by total reflection X‐ray fluorescence spectrometry

“…Effective characterization allows the extent and nature of contamination to be determined, providing crucial evidence to support facility dismantling, the management of material and waste, protection of workers, the public and the environment, and associated cost estimations. [9] In March 2011, the nuclear reactors of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (FDNPP) of the Tokyo Electric Power Company were damaged by the Great East Japan Earthquake and subsequent tsunami. Several reports have revealed that nuclear fuel materials such as uranium, plutonium, and curium were released into the environment in trace amounts.…”
