Details

This project has developed guiding principles on mixing in the management of radioactive wastes.

These establish acceptable practices based on industry experience to date benchmarked against current policy, regulatory and strategic drivers and constraints.

The principles are illustrated with examples and are considered through a series of case studies.

They are intended to provide a systematic and common framework to assist planning and ensure consistent decision making that aligns with optimised waste management plans and practices.
