Committee on Radioactive Waste Management

The Committee on Radioactive Waste Management is a group that advises government agencies on how to safely handle, store, and dispose of radioactive waste, which is generated from activities like nuclear power and medical use. Its goal is to develop strategies that protect people and the environment from radiation risks, ensuring waste is managed responsibly over the long term. The committee reviews current practices, studies potential solutions like underground repositories, and provides recommendations to improve safety standards and policy decisions related to radioactive waste management.
