Management of Nuclear Waste in Nuclear Energy System for Sustainability of the Ecosystem (Evaluation in terms of Environment and Human Health) in Terms of Monazite Mineral

OpenAlex İngilizce

In this study, the working methods of Nuclear Power Plants, which have been used effectively since the 1970s to meet the energy needs of countries, and the types of waste they produce have been specified, and the storage areas of these wastes which consist of matural mineral of Monazite have been evaluated. Literature reviews of the monazite mineral, which is found in large quantities in Türkiye, have been conducted to determine its resources, resistance to radiation and usability. The monazite mineral, which has a large share in world reserves, provides a secure structure for the storage of nuclear wastes in the long term. First of all, the monazite mineral has been investigated in depth in the study, and the working methods of nuclear power plants and the storage areas of wastes have been examined. Then, the safety of nuclear power plants in terms of human health and safety has been discussed. The compliance of nuclear facilities with sustainable development goals for Türkiye's sustainable energy future has been investigated, and nuclear accidents that have occurred in Türkiye in the last 25 years have been evaluated in the context of the social goals of sustainable development.
