yes, Nuclear fission as used in nuclear power plants produces radioactive waste with long half lives. However, this creates no problems. This wastes are either confined in the spent nuclear fuel (that is stored either in wet storage or in dry storage facilities) or stored as vitrified nuclear waste.
shorter half lives

Nuclear? Possibly.
Nuclear fission has been used in nuclear bombs and is currently being used in every nuclear power plant on the earth.

It is simply a fact that nuclear fission produces radioactive fission products
Nuclear Fission
The nuclear fission process produces a range of lighter elements as fission products, and many of these are radioactive.
The answer is FALSE. Products of Nuclear fission of Uranium are highly radioactive.
FISSION. nobody on this website knows the answer..... SHAME
The nuclear fission process produces a range of lighter elements as fission products, and many of these are radioactive.
We can use plutonium in nuclear fission devices.
- radioactive decay - nuclear fission - nuclear reactions
In a nuclear power plant, heat is created by nuclear fission. In nuclear fission, a uranium atom is split, and incredible heat, light, and radioactive energy is released. The heat is used to boil water, and the steam from that water turns a turbine which produces electricity.
Yes. The first use we developed for nuclear fission was the atomic bomb. The number of people who died when the bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki is difficult to estimate precisely, but was likely over 200,000. Even aside from nuclear weapons, the products of nuclear fission are highly radioactive and fission itself produces large amount of radiation. Accidents at nuclear power plants, which use controlled fission reactions, can result in radioactive material being released into the environment.
no, but the products of fission are radioactive
