National waste strategies

State and Local Issues in Transportation of Hazardous Waste Materials Towards a National Strategy... 

An identified National Waste management strategy facilitates the production of local strategies and again using the UK as an example, the draft... 

Except for the fact that these six goals are national rather than international in outlook, and thus do not address the issue of contamination across international boundaries, they are substantively very similar to the nine RADWASS principles. These six goals provide daily focus and guidance for all of our activities, and they provide the foimdation for our waste management strategy, which I will... 

The treatment systems for gaseous and liquid radioactive waste result in authorised discharges to atmosphere and controlled waters. Progressive reductions in discharges consistent with the UK National Strategy are expected as the AP 1000 is operated over time by applying plant operational experience and lessons learned from the individual AP 1000 plants, AP 1000 plants as an operating... 

In developing the generic IWS, due regard has also been taken of the national strategies (England and Wales) (Reference 15.9) that set out a waste management hierarchy that promotes waste avoidance, waste minimisation and recycling above disposal to landfill. 

The objective of radioactive waste management is to deal with radioactive waste in a manner that protects human health and the environment now and in the future without imposing undue burdens on future generations (Ref [4], para. 201). Operational management should be implemented as part of a national strategy. It is required in particular to comply with Principles 7-9 of Ref. [4] ...

On December 15, 1983, EPA issued a "national dioxin strategy" for investigating, identifying, and cleaning up sites contaminated by dioxin (1). Within the framework of this strategy was a plan that called for research to be conducted on the technical feasibility and economics of alternative methods for disposal and destruction of wastes and soils contaminated by dioxin.
