Radioactive wastes are chemical products studied also by chemists.
Nuclear chemistry is the chemistry involved in nuclear processes; in a large sense may be considered also the chemistry of radioactive elements. Sometimes radiation chemistry (radiochemistry) is considered a chapter of nuclear chemistry.
The chemistry of radioactive elements and their compounds.LyN
Most radioactive waste is sealed in special containers, and buried underground. Medical waste that may be radioactive is taken to landfills.

Yes, biomedical waste that is mixed with radioactive waste is typically managed and disposed of as radioactive waste. This is due to the potential hazards associated with radioactive materials, which require specialized handling, treatment, and disposal procedures to ensure safety. Regulations often mandate that such mixed waste is treated according to the more stringent standards applicable to radioactive waste to mitigate health risks and environmental contamination.
Toxic waste is closely related to chemistry because it involves hazardous substances that can have harmful effects on human health and the environment. The chemical composition of toxic waste determines its properties, behavior, and potential risks. Understanding these chemical characteristics is essential for proper waste management, treatment, and remediation strategies to mitigate environmental impact and ensure safety. Additionally, chemistry plays a critical role in developing methods to neutralize or recycle such waste.
Yes, the process of fission produces radioactive waste.

Nuclear chemistry is the branch of chemistry that studies the chemical and physical properties of elements as influenced by changes in the structure of atomic nuclei. It involves processes such as radioactive decay, nuclear reactions, and the use of radioactive isotopes in various applications such as medicine, industry, and research.
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'.
