Analyses of Nuclear Power Plant Waste In Terms of Environmental Policies

In recent years, the diversity and quantity of wastes have increased parallel to rapid industrialization of countries and it is becoming a major problem day by day. Radioactive waste has taken its place among major waste problems of the century such as industrial wastes, municipal wastes and scrap metals. Radioactive wastes are type of waste which are caused by research, medical and industrial application. Usage of nuclear material in nuclear reactors, medical and industrial application results the formation of radioactive waste. In this context, wastes of nuclear power plant have been studied under the title of radioactive waste types in this work. The environmental impact of nuclear power plant has been researched and techniques to prevent and reducing these effects were also included.
