Nuclear Waste Management. Separation of radioactive wastes provides a number of relatively small scale but vitally important uses of gas-phase purification appHcations of adsorption. Such appHcations often require extremely high degrees of purification because of the high toxicity of... 

Classification of wastes may be according to purpose, distinguishing between defense waste related to military appHcations, and commercial waste related to civiUan appHcations. Classification may also be by the type of waste, ie, mill tailings, high level radioactive waste (HLW), spent fuel, low level radioactive waste (LLW), or transuranic waste (TRU). Alternatively, the radionucHdes and the degree of radioactivity can define the waste. Surveys of nuclear waste management (1,2) and more technical information (3—5) are available.
