Following the Monju debacle, the government started stressing that nuclear fuel recycling and fast reactor technology can help reduce high-level radioactive waste. Now, policymakers are singing the “carbon neutrality” theme. The government should stop trying to obscure problems with its nuclear power...
environment and health as well as decommissioning costs and priority setting this paper examines both the areas of consensus and uncertainties between countries regarding very low level waste regulations for recycling of materials arising from decommissioning, against the background of international ...
Japan is one the most developed and industrialized countries in the Asian region, paying a specific attention to its environmental quality especially in terms of waste management. Although Japan has a solid system for waste management and recycling at the moment, it also experienced problems similar...
