Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Assessment of the activity of radioactive waste (RW) stored in the tanks of the BN-350 reactor facility is necessary to ensure safe storage and to support the selection of appropriate waste management technologies. This is one of the key elements of the radiation safety system, ensuring proper classification, safe storage, and subsequent disposal of radioactive materials. Within the framework of this study, the specific activity of liquid radioactive waste (LRW) immobilized using sorbents was evaluated based on gamma radiation for the years 2025, 2050, and 2075. The concentrations of the major long-lived radionuclides were determined for the same periods. The specific mass fraction of fissile materials in the radioactive waste was also calculated. The object of the study is liquid radioactive waste solidified using sorbents such as perlite, agrovermiculite, and superabsorbent. The results may be used to select appropriate sorbents for further radioactive waste management operations.
