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.
This type of energy produces radioactive wastes that must be disposed of properly.?
nuclear energy
How and Where are bald eagle bodies disposed of?
with honours in a special cemetry
Why does the narrator want to visit the aldgate burial at night'?
See the bodies disposed of.
How did 1940s British murderer John Haigh dispose of his victims' bodies?
He disposed of his victims by letting their bodies soak in sulfuric acid
How can radioactive waste be disposed of safely?
The typical process of removing radioactive waste is isolating the waste until it is no longer harmful to the environment. However this time period differs vastly from hours to millions of years.
How is nuclear waste disposed?
Nuclear waste is not easily disposed. It goes an abundance of processes to conclude in it becoming 98% less "Radioactive". This Waste is then formed into a childrens "Sweetie" called Toxic Waste. No deaths have yet resulted in this.
Is the human body naturally radioactive?
The human body is naturally radioactive. The potassium found in the bodies of humans is the main cause of the radioactivity.
How is nuclear waste contained stored and disposed of and how does it effect nature?
Radioactive wastes are stored in mines; in normal condition they have a nonsignificant effect on the nature.
Are radiation symptoms contagious?
No, radiation sickness/poisoning is not contagious. This is because, while the infected person does possess radiation, they're not radioactive. However, the source that gave them the radiation is still radioactive, and, as it has the risk of contaminating others, should be professionally disposed of.
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 kind of toxic waste are produced by nuclear energy?
Nuclear energy produces wastes in the form of spent nuclear fuels, which are a mixture of radioactive isotopes and heavy metals - both of which are toxic - and irradiated materials surrounding the reactor which become radioactive from exposure to the radiation produced by the reactor and which must be disposed of at the end of the life of the reactor. Note that breeder reactors - which are not permitted in the USA - convert some of the otherwise unusable radioactive isotopes into fissionable isotopes, thus allowing more of the fuel to be used and reducing amount of fuel rod waste (with the rods being re-processed to recover more usable fuel rather than just disposed of).
