SOURCE OF RADIOACTIVE WASTE
1. Nuclear Fuel Cycle
Mining and milling and Uranium core
extraction
➢ Produce large quantities of
radioactive materials
➢ Enhanced naturally occurring
radionuclides levels
➢ Radionuclides produce are
Radium-226, Radon-222
Chemical refining
➢ Produce small amount of waste
Enrichment
➢ End Product: Enriched Uranium
➢ Waste : Depleted Uranium
Reprocessing of spent fuel
