Nuclear Safety and Waste Management

Nuclear safety refers to the practices and measures taken to protect people and the environment from the harmful effects of radiation, which can occur during the operation of nuclear facilities or accidents. This includes ensuring that reactors operate safely and that the potential for accidents is minimized. Waste management involves the proper handling, storage, and disposal of radioactive materials generated by nuclear power plants and other sources. Effective management ensures that radioactive waste is contained and does not pose a risk to public health or the environment, typically through secure storage and long-term disposal solutions.
