This collection will focus on the treatment and degradation of radioactive waste (RW) for its final destination, including any form of radioactively contaminated sources. We are especially interested in the following techniques: Advanced Oxidation Processes (Fenton, UV/H₂O₂, ozone, electron beam irradiation), laser, plasma, immobilization and adsorption. However, other approaches to the treatment and degradation of RW are also welcome.

This collection will discuss topics and techniques such as different pollution waste sources, the occurrence of radionuclides, the presence of organics and persistent contaminants, sampling methods and sample analysis, treatment methods, emerging technologies, environmental impact assessment, remediation techniques and scale-up studies. Research techniques in the areas of the oil and gas industry as well as other mining activities (i.e. NORM waste) and nuclear reactors will be highly encouraged. This collection aims to provide a global resource for radioactive waste researchers, examine a multitude of techniques capable of correctly handling this type of waste, and introduce novel evidence-based approaches to treatment. Video articles of such techniques will facilitate our ultimate goal of improving performance for radioactive waste management worldwide and enrich the body of knowledge in the scientific research community.
