The goal | The syllabus offer possibilities for student to learn abut sources, classification, processing, safe storage and disposal of radioactive waste, as well as with international initiatives and framework for radioactive waste management. Important aspects are impact of radioactive waste to human health, environment and public perception of these topics. | |||
The outcome | By following these course students become capable to appreciate different sources of radioactive waste, methods for processing, storage, disposal depending on type and characteristics of waste. Further, student become familiar with basic principles of radioactive waste management, with a goal to control and minimise risk for population and environment. Also, knowledge on how to perform risk assessment and how to estimate radiological implications of radioactive waste using practical knowledge and lessons learned from previous radiological accidents are offered. | |||

Contents of lectures | Introduction: Definition of radioactive waste, sources and types of radioactive waste. Basic principles of radioactive waste management: Protection of population and environment, control of burden for future generations, regulatory framework. Control of radioactive waste generation, independence of generation and waste management. Radiation safety. Classification of radioactive waste: types of waste, characterisation, release of effluents in the environment. Critical groups, models of exposure and dose assessment. International initiatives for radioactive waste management: role and importance of international organisations, regulatory control. Phases in radioactive waste management: pre-treatment ( segregation, chemical adjustment, decontaminations), treatment (volume reduction, change of composition, radionuclide removal), conditioning (immobilisation, packaging), transport, storage. Risk control and monitoring: methods of monitoring, activity estimation, case studies. Radioactive waste disposal. Control of population radiation exposure: sources, communication to population, public perception. | |||
Contents of exercises | Practicals and demonstrations: visit to storage in Vinca Institute of Nuclear Sciences, visits to nuclear medicine departments in hospitals, dose assessment, atmospheric dispersion calculation for gaseous and liquid effluents. | |||
