Low-Level Waste Disposal Analysis
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 February 2011
Abstract
The safety of low-level radioactive waste disposal sites is analyzed using the computer code LOTRAN. Radiation doses to off-site individuals and to future land reclaimers are computed for a generic disposal site located in a humid Eastern environment. The predicted doses are compared to illustrative performance criteria developed under this project. Results provide insight into those characteristics of low-level waste disposal systems most important to public safety and will allow analyses of tradeoffs among natural and engineered features.
