 Final repository for short-lived radioactive waste

The final repository for short-lived radioactive waste generally refers to a facility or location where this type of waste is safely stored or disposed of after it has been generated. Short-lived radioactive waste typically includes materials that have relatively low levels of radioactivity and decay to safe levels over a relatively short period, usually less than 30 years. Countries often manage short-lived radioactive waste by classifying it into specific categories based on its origin, type, and radioactivity levels.
