Well, this is just a draft. I post it here to get some advices or do some corrections before I propose it to the UN.
Radioactive Waste Management Act
A resolution to increase the quality of the world's environment, at the expense of industry.
Category: Environmental
Industry Affected: All Businesses
Description: Radioactive waste is isotope that remains after the reaction or radioactive decay. Radioactive waste contains radioactive substance that releases radioactive ray and it is dangerous towards the human-beings.
Because some of the radioactive waste has longer half-life and still releases strong radioactive ray, a capable radioactive waste management is needed so that:
i) Human will not be exposed directly to the radioactive ray.
ii) Nature environment will not be polluted by the radioactive waste.
iii) Natural water source like the river and lake will not be polluted by radioactive waste.
The features of determining the way to manage radioactive waste are:
i) The radioisotope’s half-life in the radioactive waste which determines how long the waste remains as radioactive.
ii) Concentration of the radioactive waste.
iii) Heat released by the radioactive waste.
Radioactive waste can be classified into three(3) levels according to its concentration:
i) Low-level Radioactive Waste.
ii) Medium-Level Radioactive Waste.
iii) High-Level Radioactive Waste.
A) Low-level Radioactive Waste
Low-level radioactive waste is radioactive substance which is used I hospital, industry and nuclear laboratory. This radioactive waste also included the tool and clothe that are polluted by the radioactive substance.
Solid Form - needs to be stored in special bin designed to block the radioactive ray and buried under the ground.
Liquid Form (cooler water from the nuclear power station) – send into the sea through a pipe and released at the distance of one(1) kilometer to two(2) kilometers from the beach.
Gas Form – released to the atmosphere.
B) Medium-level Radioactive Waste
Most of the medium-level radioactive wastes are from the nuclear power station.
Bin that contains this waste needs to be put into a concrete block and buried under the ground or in used mine.
C) High-level Radioactive Waste
High-level radioactive wastes are used fuel rods which are used in the nuclear reactor. These rods are still very radioactive and with high temperature.
These fuel rods need to be stored in a water pool for a couple of years to be cooled down. Then, they are being stored in steel container and buried approximately five hundreds(500) meters under the ground.
Used fuel rods then can also be reproduced and enriched to be reuse.
All UN nations with industry areas must follow this act. Failure to do so will receive a fine no more than USD 50 Billions.
