jäätmed, mille aktiivsus on tavajäätmetest kõrgem, kuid milles on piiratud koguses pikaealisi nukliide
radioactive waste that is above clearance levels, but with limited amounts of long lived radionuclides
Hea teada
Low level waste covers a very broad range of waste. Typical characteristics of low level waste are levels of activity concentration above clearance levels. Low level waste may include short lived radionuclides at higher levels of activity concentration, and also long lived radionuclides, but only at relatively low levels of activity concentration that require only the levels of containment and isolation provided by a near surface disposal facility. Low level waste requires robust containment and isolation for periods typically of up to a few hundred years and is suitable for disposal in engineered near surface disposal facilities. Low level waste may be so classified on the basis of waste acceptance criteria for near surface disposal facilities.
wastes that are only slightly contaminated and can normally be transported without special precautions such as shielded containers
