A Radioactive waste management organization is an An organization which processes radioactive waste
Description
Radioactive waste can present a hazard to the environment for a long stretch of time. The time period over which waste management issues have to be considered is therefore unusually long. The need to retain critical knowledge in this domain for such time periods presents a formidable challenge which requires long-sighted planning and commitment.
In addition to the long-term commitmment, many challenges such as the complexity of the processes involved, the consideration of international operating experience, or measures for radiation protection are shared with and comparable to other nuclear operating facilities.
