All practices that are using nuclear and radioactive materials will


                                     produce radioactive wastes.


                                     The nature of radioactive wastes are vary from one radioactive

                                     waste to another radioactive waste in terms of volumes,


                                     chemical and physical compositions and concentration of

                                     radioactivity.


                                     The radioactivity contained in the wastes is hazardous to living


                                     organisms.

                                     The hazardous nature of radioactive wastes to living organisms


                                     requires proper radioactive waste management as prescribed by

                                     Atomic and Energy Licensing Board (AELB).
