National Research Council, Division on Earth and Life Studies, Board on Radioactive Waste Management, Committee on Improving Practices for Regulating and Managing Low-Activity Radioactive Wastes
Low-activity radioactive wastes include a broad spectrum of materials for which a regulatory patchwork has evolved over almost 60 years. These wastes present less of a radiation hazard than either spent nuclear fuel or high-level radioactive waste. L

National Research Council, Division on Earth and Life Studies, Board on Radioactive Waste Management, Committee on Improving the Scientific Basis for Managing Nuclear Materials and Spent Nuclear Fuel through the Environmental M
The production of nuclear materials for the national defense was an intense, nationwide effort that began with the Manhattan Project and continued throughout the Cold War. Now many of these product materials, by-products, and precursors, such as irra

National Research Council, Division on Earth and Life Studies, Board on Radioactive Waste Management, Committee on Principles and Operational Strategies for Staged Repository Systems
Compared to other large engineering projects, geologic repositories for high-level waste present distinctive challenges because: 1) they are first-of-a-kind, complex, and long-term projects that must actively manage hazardous materials for many decad

National Research Council, Division on Earth and Life Studies, Board on Radioactive Waste Management, Committee on the Review of the Hanford Site's Environmental Remediation Science and Technology Plan
The Hanford Site was established by the federal government in 1943 as part of the secret wartime effort to produce plutonium for nuclear weapons. The site operated for about four decades and produced roughly two thirds of the 100 metric tons of pluto
