• Low- and intermediate-level radioactive waste, short lived (LILW-SL).
• Spent fuel arisings.
• Radioactive waste from non-nuclear processes and activities.
(b) National and International Data Availability: At the national level, the volume
of radioactive waste arisings from nuclear facilities could be obtained from the waste
accountancy records maintained by the various waste generators or, in consolidated
form, from national regulatory bodies. Almost one-third of the IAEA Member States
keep some type of national radioactive waste registry. The Joint Convention on the
Safety of Spent Fuel Management and on the Safety of Radioactive Waste
Management requires Contracting Parties to report their radioactive waste inventories
within their national reports. Through this mechanism, both the availability and the
quality of data are likely to increase over time. A secondary source may be databases
managed by international organizations such as the IAEA or the Organisation for
Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)/ Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA).
Currently, with perhaps the exception of country data on spent fuel arisings,
comprehensive country data from nuclear fuel cycles on radioactive waste are not
readily available.
Data on radioactive waste from other fuel chains are not usually available.
