RADIOACTIVE WASTE
MANAGEMENT IN INDIA
High efficiency particulate air (hepa) filters are used to minimize air
borne radioactivity
Trombay, Tarapur, Kakrapara, Narora, Hyderabad and Jaduguda are
some of setup of radioactive waste management
Electricity generation by nuclear means can be regarded as minimum
measure of radioactive waste
On scale of nuclear share of electricity India ranks 4th from bottom in
about 30 countries
