What kind of radioactive waste has the longest half-life?
Uranium has the longest half-life element
How does half life of radioactive waste affect the type of container in which the waste will be stored?
The longer the half-life of radioactive waste, the more consideration will have to be given to the design and construction of the container in which it is stored. This as well as where the container itself is stored. If we look at spent fuel from nuclear reactors, this highly radioactive and extremely long-lived radioactive waste will have to have a most substantial container. The storage container will have to last for many hundreds of years. Low level radioactive waste can be put up in less substantial containers and simply buried in an approved manner at an approved facility.
What is the biggest with radioactive waste?
The biggest problem with radioactive waste is how to safely and properly dispose of it. Finding suitable disposal facilities for radioactive waste is difficult. Depending on the type of waste disposed, the disposal facility may need to contain radiation for a very long time.

Do hydrologist studies the effects of pollution on marine life?
false
Where does the waste from sea animals go?
The waste from marine animals is returned to the water in which they live. It forms part of the food chain as it is ingested by the micro-organisms that in turn become food for larger marine life.
What does dumping of waste and littering affect the marine life?
A animal could eat the waste and think it's food and the animal could die.
What is the biggest problem with radioactive waste?
It has a very long half-life. Disposal of radioactive waste is the biggest problem. Proper disposal is essential to ensure protection of the health and safety of the public and quality of the environment including air, soil, and water supplies.

Why we should not use nuclear power as primary energy resource?
because it is melemish Because it generates huge amounts of radioactive waste. Its not easy to get rid of radioactive waste. Uranium, a common byproduct of nuclear power, have quite a long half life.
How soil erosion soil effects marine life?
by washing away the soil in water
