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.
