If done properly it can be as safe or safer than other transportation, especially if the plutonium and other transuranics have already been recycled to new fuel.

But this is likely to get censored as many anti-nuclear people don't want it known.

Does the Constitution allow congress to ship nuclear waste across state lines?

Yes, the Constitution allows Congress to regulate the transportation of nuclear waste across state lines under its authority to regulate interstate commerce. The Commerce Clause grants Congress the power to manage activities that cross state boundaries, including the transportation of hazardous materials. Additionally, federal laws, such as the Nuclear Waste Policy Act, specifically address the management and transportation of nuclear waste, providing a legal framework for such activities.


What is a method of safe handing hazardous waste?

It depends on the waste material. Methods appropriate for chemical hazards would not be so for nuclear waste.

What happens with the waste from nuclear power?

The waste from nuclear power, known as nuclear waste, is typically stored in secure containers at nuclear power plants or in underground repositories. Different countries have different strategies for managing and disposing of nuclear waste, with some exploring options for recycling or reprocessing it to reduce its volume and radioactivity. Long-term solutions for nuclear waste disposal, such as deep geological repositories, are being developed to ensure safe containment for thousands of years.


What kind of toxic waste produced nuclear energy?

Nuclear energy produces radioactive waste, which is a byproduct of nuclear reactions in power plants. This waste can include spent nuclear fuel, contaminated materials, and other radioactive substances, all of which require safe storage and disposal methods to prevent environmental and health risks.


How dangerous is the threat of Water contamination from Nuclear waste?

If you put nuclear waste in a situation where groundwater can flow over it on the way to a water course, you will obviously get contamination. Nuclear waste stores have to be very carefully considered to find locations that are safe from water access.

What is the most environmentally safe sort of energy?

Solar and wind energy is the most safe. Of the renewable energies, nuclear can produce nuclear waste and go critical, while hydroelectric power can displace many acres of land. Wind and solar energy produce no waste, do not pollutes, and do not displace.
