DEFINITION: Nuclear waste generated
Units: Standardized Scale (z-score)
Units: Two variables were initially available for Radioactive Waste: Accumulated Quantity (cubic meters) as generated and Accumulated Quantity (cubic meters) after treatment. We calculated the z-scores for the two variables, in order to make them comparable, and took whichever variable was available for each country. For the three countries (Australia, Canada and Czech Republic) which had both variables, we took the higher.

COMMENTARY     

Mike
3rd October 2011 		What is a negative volume?
RUssell Kincaid
1st April 2010 		I do not understand this chart at all. What is the quantity that is reported. It cannot be cubic meters of radioactive waste, because many countries show a negative amount. Please explain
Sam
3rd December 2009 		It is gross to see the animals/people hurt by nuclear waste
Chris
11th August 2009 		How can the people make sure that the nuclear radiation doesn't pollute the the surrounding environment? And what if the radiation leakes and people get sick?
