Development of categorization methods has focused on radiological characterization by nondestructive gamma-ray monitoring coupled with scaling factors for other radionuclides based on destructive analysis of typical wastes from each of the important waste streams. Most work so far has been done with incinerable waste since comparison of monitoring results on the incinerator feed and ash can be made with destructive analyses of samples of well-mixed ash. 1, record 4, English, - incinerable%20waste

L'origine des déchets solides est multiple, certains sont issus des procédés de traitement qui viennent d'être évoqués, ce sont par exemple, les boues de traitement d'insolubilisation, les échangeurs d'ions usés, les concentrats d'évaporation; en général leur traitement ultérieur n'est pas dissocié de leur conditionnement. Les autres sont constitués soient des déchets technologiques, soit des déchets dits particuliers. Leur traitement diffère selon qu'il s'agit des déchets compactables, incinérables, contenant des émetteurs ou non, l'objectif étant toujours le même, réduire le volume du déchet final actif, et particulièrement du déchet de longue durée de vie. 3, record 4, French, - d%C3%A9chet%20incin%C3%A9rable

The variation in radioactivity concentration is evident in Table 13 which demonstrates that most of the radioactivity is in only a small fraction of the waste. For example, during the third quarter of 1986, 1, 520 cu. m of waste were received. About 67% of the volume... was incinerable, and had an average radioactivity concentration of [less than] 37 MBq/cu. m, corresponding to [less than] 0. 02% of the total radioactivity inventory for the quarter. 2, record 5, English, - average%20nuclear%20activity%20concentration
