Povzetek/Abstract:

The film illustrates the various types of radioactive waste with emphasis on waste

production arising at the different stages of the nuclear fuel cycle. It addresses the

different methods of treatment (dilution, incineration, filtration, storage, burial) for the

low-, intermediate- and high level radiactive wastes and gives examples of

scientific studies underway in different countries on solidification of high level

waste. In addition, some background information is given on natural radiation, types

of ionizing radiation, radioactive decay, nuclear power generation and radiation

monitoring.
