ABSTRACT:
A method and an apparatus for the disposal of low-level radioactive wastes are disclosed. Under the disclosed method, the waste is first introduced into a preconstructed multipurpose container which comprises a polyethylene inner container disposed within an outer concrete shell. Processing of the waste is carried out within the multipurpose container. The filled container is then transported to a disposal site, followed by storage of the waste at the storage disposal site.
The claimed apparatus comprises an empty multipurpose storage container for use in the method. The multipurpose container is adapted for receiving and storing low-level radioactive waste, and comprises a polyethylene inner container disposed within an outer concrete shell. The multipurpose container is suitable for use during the processing and collection of low-level radioactive waste at the generation site, provides sufficient protection during transportation, and can serve as the permanent storage container upon delivery of the container to a remote disposal site.
