nuclear waste is a never ending source of hurt for the environment. truly we should try to contain it for 500 to a thousand years as the waste it produces is deadly and can cause tumors or cancer.

How long does radioactive iodine stay in the body after a radioactive iodine thyroid treatment?

How long these body waste materials stay in the large intestine?
Average if 3 hours
If you don''t eat do you still excrete?
yes as long as you are alive you body will be making waste from chemical reactions. This waste cannot stay in your body or you will develop uremia.
How much nuclear waste is produced each year?
The radioactive fission products from a nuclear reactor are contained in the spent fuel and they stay there whilst the fuel is stored under water or eventually in concrete flasks. Waste will only be produced if and when the spent fuel is broken down and chemically treated, probably to separate out the U-238 and plutonium, which may be worth doing. The waste is then the proportion which is not useful and it will consist of the fission products, ie a range of different elements and their isotopes, many of which are highly radioactive. This material is highly dangerous to life and must be stored safely for a long time (centuries)
What Element stays radioactive for millions of years?
The element that can stay radioactive for millions of years is plutonium. This is where most nuclear power plant energy comes from.
What is eleven years of marriage?
an accomplishment. its great that a couple can stay together that long, yet some people will still call it a waste of time or a punishment.
Can radioactivity kill you?

How long do sea monkeys stay babies?
As long as they stay babies is how long they stay babies.
What are the chemical properties of einsteinium?
Since Einsteinium is a radioactive element with a very short half-life, it doesn't really stay around long enough for its chemical properties to be noticed, however, like all very heavy elements it is a highly reactive metal, during the brief period that it exists prior to radioactive decay.
Why should you get rid of body waste?
To avoid toxins to stay in our body.
How long would you stay with us?
how long would you stay with us how long would you stay with us
How long does radiation stay around?
Radioactivity gradually falls in all radioactive materials, how quickly it falls depends on the half-life of the material. The radioactivity of a material with a short half-life will fall alot quicker than the radioactivity of a material with a long half-life.
