Radioactive waste with a high activity concentration of both short- and long- lived radionuclides typically in the range of 10<sup>4</sup> to 10<sup>6</sup> TBq/m<sup>3</sup>. It generates significant quantities of heat from radioactive decay and normally continues to generate heat for several centuries. This waste requires a high degree of containment isolation from the environment to ensure long-term safety.
