Material containing radionuclides for which no further use is foreseen and which is subject to radiological control under the applicable framework.
Radioactive waste is material that contains radioactive substances and is generated during various processes, such as the operation of nuclear power plants, medical treatments, research activities, and the production and use of radioactive materials. This waste can emit radiation in the form of alpha particles, beta particles, or gamma rays and can pose significant health and environmental risks if not managed properly.
