LLW, LLRW Explanation: Low-level waste includes items that have become contaminated with radioactive material or have become radioactive through exposure to neutron radiation. ... www.nrc.gov/waste/low-level-waste.html Low-level radioactive waste (LLRW) is an inevitable byproduct of beneficial uses of radioactive materials in the United States. It arises from medical research, diagnosis and treatment of diseases, industrial processes, national defense, and electric power generation—all vital to our national interests. LLRW will continue to be generated, requiring the availability of disposal methods and sites so that society can continue to enjoy the full benefits of the use of radioactive materials. Safe and effective methods and standards for processing, transport, and disposal of LLRW are well established. http://hps.org/documents/llrw.2005.pdf Low-level waste includes items that have become contaminated with radioactive material or have become radioactive through exposure to neutron radiation. This waste typically consists of contaminated protective shoe covers and clothing, wiping rags, mops, filters, reactor water treatment residues, equipments and tools, luminous dials, medical tubes, swabs, injection needles, syringes, and laboratory animal carcasses and tissues. The radioactivity can range from just above background levels found in nature to much higher levels in certain cases such as parts from inside the reactor vessel in a nuclear power plant. http://www.policyalmanac.org/environment/archive/nuclear_was... Low, level waist. Reminds me of the short-legged Italian girl a friend of mine used to go out with, before he met a tall unijambiste whose prosthesis was too short. |
