Literature review and references  \nSUMMARY  \nThe first part of this review discusses the importance of risk.Man seems to have alonging for risks,like a part of the human nature.If risks are missing,they have to be invented,as needed parts in the emotional attraction of sports,amusement parks,traveling,etc.;this isthe emotional part of risk.There is also a rational part of risk,in selecting such objects inordinary life big industry,with a technology poorly understood by the general public,is afavored target.In that category no better choice can be made than the nuclear industry ingeneral,and the nuclear waste in particular.To the public,through laymen like journalists andpoliticians,the risk from nuclear waste seems only to be treated emotionally,while to thescientists and technicians it is an object of exact calculation:probability of accident timesconsequence.If there is any relation between the emotional and the rational risk perceptions(forexample,it is believed that increased knowledge will decrease emotions),it will be a desirablegoal for society,and the nuclear industry in particular,to improve the understanding by thelaymen of the rational risks from nuclear energy.This review surveys various paths to a morecommon comprehension --perhaps a consensus --of the nuclear waste risks.  \nThe second part discusses radioactivity as a risk factor and concludes that it (becquerel)has no relation in itself to risk,but must be connected to exposure,either external or internal,leading to a dose risk,i.e,a health detriment,which is commonly expressed in terms of cancerinduction rate.Dose-effect relations are discussed in light of recent scientific debate.  \nThe third part of this report describes a number of hazard indexes for nuclear wastefound in the literature and distinguishes between absolute and relative risk scales.The relativerisk is obtained by dividing the risk value associated with the source(e.g.a waste repository)by the risk(derived according to the same principle)of some known risk source (e.g.","cbCaiqTTABJPqdxZ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqTTABJPqdxZ","pdf",1337439,65,"English","# Summary\n# Introduction\n## What is a risk?\n## Nuclear risks\n## The source term, nuclide decays\n## Radioactivity as risk factor\n## Dose based radiological risks\n## Dose-effect relations\n## Radionuclide concentrations in water and food\n## Waste toxicity and hazard indices\n## Choice of hazard index reference systems\n## Hazard indices of different fuel cycles\n## Some general comments and conclusions\n# Literature review and references","[{\"question\":\"How does the report define and distinguish risk in the context of nuclear waste?\",\"answer\":\"Risk is discussed as having an emotional component in public attraction and a rational component based on probability of accident times consequence.
