∙ 6y agoThe biggie as far as radioactive waste is spent nuclear fuel. There is a lot of it around, and that stuff is extremely dangerous. It must be securely stored for a really, really long period of time. There are also waste products associated with industrial uses like cobalt-60 sources that are no longer useful. Any time there are radioactive materials produced for medical applications, we can sometimes see some kind of associated radioactive waste. It appears from the processes, and it might be like the materials used to clean up a spill.

What type of reaction produces the most dangerous radioactive waste?
What type of reaction produces the most dangerous radioactive waste?
What plants have radioactive waste?
All plants have radioactive waste, especially fossil fuel plants.
What happens to Radioactive waste after?
most radioactive waste is put into special drums that are shipped to a special radioactive waste dump.some of it is concealed in sheets of glass or concrete and put in a place where it wont be touched for many of many years to come this is the most efficient way of doing it.
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.
What type of energy produces radioactive waste?
nuclear
How radioactive waste is disposed?
Most radioactive waste is sealed in special containers, and buried underground. Medical waste that may be radioactive is taken to landfills.
What has the author Robert E Berlin written?
Robert E. Berlin has written: 'Radioactive waste management' -- subject(s): Radioactive waste disposal, Radioactive waste sites
Where is most high-level radioactive waste put?
radioactive waste go somewhere probally in a labratory
What kind of energy produces radioactive waste?
Nuclear Energy produces radioactive waste because if there isnt any sign of nuclear waste/energy in the sullotion/object then it wouldnt be counted as 'Radioactive'.
Is radioactive waste a pure substance or a mixture?
Radioactive waste is nearly always a mixture but it is possible to be a pure substance.
Why is waste from nuclear power stations a problem?
The waste is radioactive and therefore ionising. It can cause cancer and "radioactive poisoning"
Pollutant not created by fossil fuels?
One example of a deadly pollutant not created by fossil fuels is highly toxic radioactive waste, which is the bi-product of using radioactive isotopes.
Does fusion produce radioactive waste?
No. The products of nuclear fusion are not radioactive.
What type of reaction produces the most dangerous radioactive waste?
What type of reaction produces the most dangerous radioactive waste?
What waste products come from power stations?
Radioactive waste is a waste product containing radioactive material. It is usually the product of a nuclear process such as nuclear fission, though industries not directly connected to the nuclear power industry may also produce radioactive waste.
What plants have radioactive waste?
All plants have radioactive waste, especially fossil fuel plants.
What has the author Ann Brown written?
Ann Brown has written: 'Introduction to microbiology relevant to the Canadian Nuclear Fuel Waste Management Program' -- subject(s): Canada, Canadian Nuclear Fuel Waste Management Program, Environmental aspects, Environmental aspects of Radioactive waste disposal in the ground, Environmental aspects of Radioactive waste sites, Microbial growth, Radioactive waste disposal in the ground, Radioactive waste sites
