Abstract
At present, radioactive waste management in Italy involves only some limited activities for treatment and conditioning of materials classified as Low Specific Activity (LSA), mainly originating from medical and industrial (non-electric) activities. Movements of radwastes, mainly by road, constitute about 35% of the 500,000 transports of radioactive materials made in Italy each year. The packing of wastes as they are produced, and particularly the features related to the packing of wastes after treatment and/or conditioning to make them suitable for transport to the final disposal, is described.
