Operation of nuclear power plants and the activities related to nuclear fuel preparation and handling of the associated waste represent the most significant source of nuclear waste generation. This chapter describes how nuclear fuels are prepared and utilized for nuclear reactor operation and how nuclear wastes are produced from the related processes. The chapter also describes how various nuclear wastes are classified for subsequent activities to appropriately manage the risk of nuclear waste.
