Hi guys, I have attached my presentation file on Power Plant Engineering. Hope it is useful for you. It is a Short presentation on nuclear waste management

1. A Brief Seminar

Power Plant Engineering

2. If I had foreseen
Hiroshima and Nagasaki
I would have torn up my formula in 1905…

3. The aftermath..

6. MANAGEMENT OF
NUCLEAR WASTE
by
LEONARD VISHAL C

7. • What is nuclear waste ?
• Types of nuclear wastes
• Methods followed to dispose them
• Where will future take us ?
• Conclusion
Topics for the day

8. Before all that !

10. NUCLEAR WASTE
Simply, left over of the nuclear
substances that were used.

11. Types of NUCLEAR WASTES
• High – level wastes
• Intermediate - level wastes
• Low – level wastes

12. Volume Radioactive content
High-level waste
3% 95%
Intermediate-
level waste
7% 4%
Low-level waste
90% 1%

13. High – level wastes
• Nuclear fuel left, after it has spent about
3 years in the reactor
• SNF (Spent Nuclear Fuel) - for eg.: Pu - 239

14. 1. VITRIFICATION

17. 2. NUCLEAR TOMB

18. 3. VOLCANIC DUMPSTER

19. 4. THROW IT TO THE SUN

20. Intermediate – level wastes
• Include used filters, steel components from
within the reactor and some effluents from
reprocessing.
• Buried close to the surface.

23. Low – level wastes
• Such as rags used
for clean up, tubes
used to hold
materials, or even
clothing and tools.
• Treated as common
garbage waste

24. General Disposal Methods
• Incineration
• Storage
• Shallow burial
• Deep burial
• In water
• Recycling
• The ocean
• Space disposal
• Seabed disposal

25. So How Are These Done ?

26. Future of Waste Disposal

27. Thank You
