放射性廃棄物の管理方法 - パート1

Learn about radioactive waste management in this 15-minute lecture from the 113th Kyoto University Marunouchi Seminar. Professor Asao Yamamura from the Institute for Integrated Radiation and Nuclear Science explores how alpha-emitting actinides present both threats and benefits to humanity. Discover how alpha particles from radioactive waste can be effectively used in cancer treatment, particularly through drug delivery systems using Actinium-225 derived from Uranium-233. Understand the challenges of studying minute quantities of nuclear materials and the research needed to reduce the management timeframe of long-lived alpha emitters from 1 million to 200 years. Gain insights into the cutting-edge research involving alpha-emitting actinides, including applications related to the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident debris.
