Low-level Waste

Low-level waste (LLW) is a term used to describe radioactive waste that contains small amounts of short-lived radioactivity. This type of waste is generated from hospitals, research facilities, nuclear power plants, and other industries that use radioactive materials. LLW can include items such as contaminated clothing, tools, and equipment, as well as materials used in the decontamination process. LLW is typically stored on-site until it has decayed to a level that is safe for disposal. Disposal methods for LLW include burial in landfills, shallow land burial, and incineration. The disposal method used depends on the type and amount of waste, as well as regulatory requirements.
