What kind of plant has radioactive waste?

Which is a major drawback to the use of nuclear power?
Nuclear power creates toxic waste that must be stored forever
What waste problems of nuclear power plants is NOT a problem with a coal burning power plant?
fear of the waste.
What does nuclear waste have to do with Nevada?

This wastes are either confined in the spent nuclear fuel (that is stored either in wet storage or in dry storage facilities) or stored as vitrified nuclear waste.
