Low-level waste (LLW) refers to radioactive waste that contains relatively low concentrations of radioactivity compared to other types of radioactive waste, such as intermediate-level waste (ILW) or high-level waste (HLW). LLW typically includes items such as contaminated clothing, tools, filters, and other materials that have been exposed to radioactive materials during medical procedures, industrial processes, or research activities.
