Description

The first condition for the development of a country is uninterrupted power supply. In the world from the ancient period strongly bonded among economics, environment and energy. Energy security is the most important for any country's national security, standards of living, strong economics etc. As a long terms sustainable energy supplies the Government of Bangladesh contracted with Russians government to set up two units of nuclear power plant at the Rooppur region of the country. But it is big challenge for the country to maintain the radioactive waste. There are four types radioactive waste generate from nuclear power plants. Such as High level, Intermediate level, Low level and Very low-level radioactive waste. This paper considers the construction of an interim storage facility for a very low-level waste (VLLW) at the Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant (RNPP) site. Given information on the formation and handling of VLLW at the Rooppur NPP. Presented characteristics of the disposal facility for VLLW with a approximately volume of 11,500 m3. In the nuclear power plant use fresh fuel UO2. But when it is burnup, then produce different types of radioactive chemical element. In this paper these different types of elements were identified by the program GETERA.
