What are the different types of radioactive waste?
In the U.S., radioactive waste is divided into three main types, classified according to their activity, their heat generation potential, and what they physically contain. These three main levels are low level waste (LLW), transuranic waste (TRU), and high level waste (HLW). For each of these types of waste, there is a specific disposal solution -- above ground storage or shallow burial for low level waste and deep repository storage for transuranic and high level wastes. In most other countries, nuclear waste is categorized as low level waste, intermediate level waste, and high level waste. The reason for this different classification system is that in the U.S. waste is classified based on where it comes from; in most other countries, waste is classified according to what the effects of the waste might be. In both classifications, low level waste represents about 90% of all radioactive waste

Should radioactive waste and leaks be classed as pollution?
Radioactive waste depending on the dosage should be classified as 'pollution'. The waste word used really difines my reasoning. Its waste, unneeded products in our atmosphere, even if it is safe raioactive waste (in which i dont believe there is such a thing because further testing has not been done to work out future effects of radioactive waste on humans we may be slowly mutating) it is still unnatural 'waste' in our atmosphere. Definition of Pollution: the introduction of harmful substances or products into the environment. Radiation is not classified as healthy neither is waste and so far as i said there hasn't been further investigating into the long term effects of radiation even small leaks, so i would say that Raioactive waste/leaks should be classed as pollution.
