Abstract
China has been developing a nuclear industry for more than three decades. During these activities a considerable quantity of various radioactive wastes has been accumulated. By 1992 the accumulated solid and liquid low and intermediate level waste (LILW) had reached 41,000 m3 in China. Along with the utilisation and development of nuclear energy, the increasing quantity of radioactive waste is required to be appropriately treated and disposed of. It is estimated that the accumulated LILW in China will be 173,000 m3 by 2010. In order better to utilise and develop nuclear energy and to protect the environment, China has formulated a plan for appropriate treatment and disposal of LILW, and implementation of this plan is underway.
