DISPOSAL OF LOW AND INTERMEDIATE LEVEL WASTE IN HUNGARY

Abstract

There are two operating facilities for management of low and intermediate level radioactive waste in Hungary. Experience with radioactive waste has a relatively long history and from its legacy some problems are to be solved, like the question of the historical waste in the Radioactive Waste Treatment and Disposal Facility (RWTDF). Beside the legacy problems the current waste arising from the Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) has to be dealt with a safe and economically optimized way.
