These are wastes emitting nuclear radiations.
- nuclear radiation - nuclear residue
The main sources are:nuclear fuel cycle facilities (mining, milling, conversion, enrichment, fabrication, nuclear reactors, and reprocessing facilities)hospitals and medical treatment facilities using radioactive sources
Nuclear wastes may be deadly but this is not mandatory; this depends on the type of wastes, time contact and other conditions.
Nuclear wastes may be the cause of radioactive contamination of soils, waters, atmosphere, living beings.
