Abstract
The problem of spent nuclear fuel is a major issue. The safety and efficiency of nuclear power plants depends on finding a solution to this problem. The transportation and storage of radioactive materials is already strictly regulated to ensure a high degree of safety. Nevertheless, recommendations to ensure the safe transportation and storage of many types of radioactive materials are still being developed. This chapter describes the processes occurring in radioactive waste from the viewpoint of radiochemistry. It gives an overview of transport security requirements and describes the development and implementation of recommendations for safe storage. The areas of security are defined.
