During 1970-2009, a total of 44529 publications were published by the scientists in the field of nuclear waste management. The average number of publications published per year was 1113. The highest number of publications (2795) were published in 2001. The spurt in the literature output was reported during 1991.2007. There were 140 countries involved in research in this field. The USA topped the list with 6672 (14.98 %) publications followed by Japan with 2859 (6.42 %) publications and France with 2612 (5.87 %). Authorship and collaboration trend was towards multi-authored as more than 56 per cent of the publications were collaborative in nature. An intensive collaboration was found during 2000.2004. Maximum publications were from the domains, nuclear fuel processing and waste management aspect with 29159 publications followed by nuclear installations/reactors with 4188 publications and chemical analysis with 2452 publications.
