Waste Characterization

Waste characterisation is an essential step in ensuring control of radiological risk and maintaining full traceability of materials throughout their lifecycle. It relies on a detailed understanding of source terms (processes, glove boxes, waste, equipment, etc.), which is vital both for radiation protection studies and for providing the data required for waste treatment and storage.
