Storage of Low to Intermediate Level Waste ( LILW ) was planned.
2.
Because of the elements'longer half-lives, TRU is disposed of more cautiously than low level waste and intermediate level waste.
3.
In 2013 the detail design of the major project to decommission the intermediate level waste shaft was completed, and work should begin later in the year.
4.
The Swiss program is considering options for the siting of a deep repository for high-level radioactive waste disposal, and for low & intermediate level wastes.
5.
SOGIN projects the Repository to be a structure with engineering barriers and natural barriers to store approximately of low and intermediate level waste permanently, and of high level waste temporarily.
6.
On May 6, 2015 the Joint Review Panel issued the Environmental Assessment ( EA ) Report recommending the approval of the Deep Geologic Repository for Ontario s low and intermediate level waste to the federal government.
7.
Current major approaches to managing radioactive waste have been segregation and storage for short-lived waste, near-surface disposal for low and some intermediate level waste, and partitioning / transmutation for the high-level waste.
8.
OPG has proposed a Deep Geologic Repository ( DGR ) for the long-term management of this low-and-intermediate level waste, to be constructed on lands adjacent to WWMF . The proposed DGR would be about 680 metres below surface.
9.
In particular, nuclear power facilities produce about 200, 000 metric tons of low and intermediate level waste ( LILW ) and 10, 000 metric tons of high level waste ( HLW ) ( including spent fuel designated as waste ) each year worldwide.
