Module 102 The Nuclear Fuel Cycle
Lesson Plan
Instructor's Notes
Solids may be volume-reduced by incineration
or compaction. Soluble forms in liquid may be
solidified to isolate radioactive contents.
Gases are either changed to a solid form and
disposed of as a solid or compressed and stored
as gases. These gases may be released after
sufficient time has elapsed for decay of the
radioactive component of the gas.
b. HLW
High-level waste (HLW) is defined in DOE
Order 5820.2a as "The highly radioactive waste
material that results from the reprocessing of
spent nuclear fuel, including liquid waste
produced directly in reprocessing and any solid
waste derived from the liquid, that contains a
combination of transuranic waste and fission
products in concentrations requiring permanent
isolation.
