TABLE BELOW PRESENTS THE BALANCE OF WASTE COLLECTED FOR TREATMENT BETWEEN THE YEARS 2000 AND 2008. IT SHOWS, THAT THE AMOUNT OF SOLID AND LIQUID WASTE SYSTEMATICALLY DECREASES, THANKS TO NEW TECHNOLOGIES OF ISOTOPE PRODUCTION AND CORRECT OPERATION OF EQUIPMENT FOR NUCLEAR TECHNOLOGIES AND ALSO DUE TO A DECREASE IN RADIOACTIVE ISOTOPE APPLICATIONS.
