A variety of nuclear activities have been carried out in the second part of the twentieth
century for different purposes.
Initially the emphasis was on military applications, but with the passage of time the main
focus of nuclear activities has shifted to peaceful uses of nuclear energy and to the use of
radioactive material in industry, medicine and research. Regardless of the objectives, the
nuclear activities generate radioactive waste.
It was considered worthwhile to produce a set of worldwide data that could be assessed to
evaluate the legacy of the nuclear activities performed up to the transition between the
twentieth and the twenty first century.
The assessment tries to cover the inventory of all the human produced radioactive material
that can be considered to result from both military and civilian applications. This has caused
remarkable difficulties since muc
