„Radioactive waste - a European overview" on 26 April 2024 | 16:00 - 18:00
Radioactive waste has been a hotly debated topic in Europe for years. This lecture aims to get to the bottom of some of the myths surrounding the subject. What actually is radioactive waste? What is currently happening with radioactive waste? What treatment options are in operation and what are the options for final disposal?
In this presentation, examples from various countries in Europe will be used to discuss how radioactive waste can be handled differently. Not only countries with comparatively large waste inventories will be analysed, but also the problems of countries with small inventories.
