What Does HLLW Stand For?

HLLW stands for High Level Liquid Waste

HLLW, or High Level Liquid Waste, refers to a type of radioactive waste that is generated from the reprocessing of spent nuclear fuel and the production of nuclear materials. It is characterized by its high levels of radioactivity and heat generation, requiring careful management and containment to ensure safety and environmental protection. HLLW is typically stored in specialized facilities designed to prevent leakage and facilitate monitoring until it can be safely treated or disposed of.
