Abstract
ABSTRACT
Radioactive and chemical wastes represent a wide range of technical and policy issues, with numerous similarities and differences. The transfer of information from one to guide control decisions and policies for the other has been minimal perhaps because of perspective. Study of the features of these two waste categories indicates that radioactive waste management could profit from the siting and waste categorization approaches used for chemical wastes; industrial waste management could profit from the experience base developed for radioactive wastes on approaches used in risk assessment, control of bulk wastes, and use of geologic isolation for highly toxic wastes.
