To prevent damage, the NRC has found means of "controlling" radiation. Materials with high levels of radiation are shipped from the nuclear generating stations, where they were created as a by-product, to reprocessing plants. The transportation process itself could be hazardous. Here they are concentrated and stored temporarily in underground tanks. Because long-term tank storage is not as safe as desired, these materials are changed from liquid to solid form. The solids are then sent to a federal storage site, such as an abandoned salt mine, for permanent storage. Salt mines are considered to be excellent sites because they are currently geologically stable. They are not able to be penetrated by water, and not connected to underground water sources. The assessment of stability is based on the assumption of uniformitarian geology.

What is difference beween meson theory and yukawa theory of nuclear forces?

there is no difference b/w meson theory an yukawa theory of nuclear forces because yukawa predicted the nuclear forces as exchange of boson(messons) b/w neutron and proton which keep them bind in an atomic nuclei. so meson theory is just another name of yukawa's theory of nuclear forces.

What does it mean that a hypothesis must be stable?

Any one who uses the word 'hypothesis' is making a guess. If the hypothesis survives an experimental test it becomes a theory. If that theory can be substantiated by positive knowledge or proof, then it may be stable and if stable, events may proceed

What is the GUT theory?

The GUT theory is a theory that combines three of the four fundamental forces together. The three fundamental forces are the strong nuclear force, weak nuclear force, and electromagnetic force. This theory explains the connection between these forces and if gravity was able to connect with these forces, then we have the TOE (Theory of Everything).
