Wastes

header_Abfaelle_Atomkraftwerke
We consume raw materials and energy on a daily basis. This produces gaseous, liquid and solid wastes. Some of this waste can be recycled and the remainder has to be disposed of safely. Respect for the environment, mankind and biota demands that we find and implement sustainable waste management solutions.

 

Radioactive wastes have to be isolated from the human environment for the duration of their toxicity and managed safely. Carefully implemented procedures and proper practices can ensure that no adverse effects will result.

"Thorough preparation for, and implementation of, waste disposal solutions begins with knowledge of waste origins, volumes and composition. For this reason, Nagra has developed a waste inventory and has assumed responsibility for maintaining and updating the information contained in it."
