1. Nuclear Fuel Reprocessing And Waste Management
2018 by Jinsuo Zhang
The challenge of managing used nuclear fuels effectively, efficiently, and with due responsibility looms large, especially in light of the growing utilization of nuclear power and advancements in nuclear reactor technology. "Nuclear Fuel Reprocessing And Waste Management" focuses on two pivotal aspects of (used) nuclear fuel: reprocessing technology and waste disposal and management. The book encompasses foundational knowledge, the current state of the field, and prospects for future research in each domain. It serves as a valuable resource, offering readers insight into the essential principles underpinning nuclear used fuel reprocessing and radioactive waste management, along with their practical applications, requirements, and established practices. The book not only imparts technical expertise but also raises awareness of the social, economic, and environmental considerations and underscores the need for ongoing technical research. It delves into two well-established reprocessing technologies: aqueous reprocessing technology and electrochemical pyroprocessing. Additionally, the book covers waste management aspects such as dry storage of used nuclear fuel, innovative waste form design, and nuclear waste disposal. Whether readers seek to gain understanding, apply, or advance these technologies, this book provides valuable guidance.

2. An Introduction to Nuclear Waste Immobilisation
2013 by Michael I. Ojovan, William E. Lee
Leveraging the extensive expertise of the authors in waste processing and disposal, the second edition of "An Introduction to Nuclear Waste Immobilisation" delves comprehensively into the realm of nuclear waste management. This updated edition thoroughly explores the entire spectrum of nuclear waste challenges, spanning from the inherent radioactivity present in the environment to the geological storage of waste materials and their long-term behavior. It encompasses critical facets of waste processing and immobilization, encompassing nuclear decay, regulatory considerations, emerging technologies, and methodologies. Notable attention is given to the analysis of diverse matrices utilized, particularly cement and glass, with additional examination of alternative matrices like bitumen. The concluding chapter zeros in on performance assessment of immobilization materials and safety aspects of disposal, providing a comprehensive resource for comprehending and effectively immobilizing nuclear waste. This revised edition maintains a strong emphasis on core technologies and adopts an integrated approach to immobilization and associated hazards, with individual chapters dedicated to distinct matrices utilized in nuclear waste immobilization, namely cement, bitumen, glass, and emerging materials, while prioritizing key topics in nuclear waste management, including treatment approaches, technologies, and disposal methods.

3. Too Hot to Touch: The Problem of High-Level Nuclear Waste
2012 by William M. Alley, Rosemarie Alley
In the ongoing debates surrounding nuclear power, waste management is now as central a concern as reactor safety, and this issue is particularly pertinent in the United States following the termination of the Yucca Mountain repository project in 2010. In "Too Hot to Touch: The Problem of High-Level Nuclear Waste," William M. and Rosemarie Alley present a compelling and authoritative exploration of the disputes and potential solutions regarding the disposal of nuclear waste in the US, with reference to global practices. The book chronicles the complete history, spanning from the post-World War II origins to the present day, vividly portraying the pioneering scientific efforts, political negotiations, media spectacles, and the resistance of local communities striving to relocate waste elsewhere. Penned in accessible language by an expert intimately involved in the Yucca Mountain project, this book proves highly relevant for various stakeholders, including public interest groups, affected communities, policymakers, environmental advocates, research scientists in related fields, and anyone seeking deeper insights into this critical matter.

4. Nuclear Wastes: Technologies for Separations and Transmutation
1996 by National Research Council, Division on Earth and Life Studies, Commission on Geosciences, Environment and Resources, Committee on Separations Technology and Transmutation Systems
The disposal of radioactive waste stemming from nuclear weapons production and power generation has generated significant public concern and political deliberation. "Nuclear Wastes: Technologies for Separations and Transmutation" offers a critical assessment of alternative waste management and disposal approaches to the current national policy of directly disposing of spent fuel from light water reactors. This book delivers unambiguous recommendations for immediate actions and explores potential solutions for the future. The committee scrutinizes the existing "once-through" fuel cycle versus alternative systems involving separations and transmutation technologies, which convert hazardous radionuclides into stable or short-lived radioactive nuclides. The volume presents comprehensive insights and conclusions concerning the status and viability of plutonium extraction and advanced separations technologies, as well as three primary transmutation strategies for dealing with commercial reactor spent fuel. Additionally, the book delves into topics such as nuclear proliferation, the U.S. nuclear regulatory framework, considerations of health, safety, and transportation, the proposed utilization of electrical energy to fund transmutation systems, and other pivotal issues.
