Abstract
Radioactive waste is generated at each stage of the nuclear fuel cycle, which comprises mining and milling of uranium ore, uranium conversion and enrichment, fuel fabrication, the operation of nuclear reactors, the reprocessing of spent nuclear fuel (where this is undertaken), the decommissioning of nuclear power plants and the associated fuel cycle facilities, and the clean-up of sites. The great majority of the radioactivity produced during the nuclear fuel cycle is contained in the spent fuel.
