nuclear waste
nuclear waste is a by product of nuclear power plants, or in the creation of nuclear weapons.
nuclear waste contains about 90 % of nuclear fuel but it is much harmful then nuclear itself.
Because you can reuse 17% of nuclear waste and use it as if it was new.
Mexico belongs to the World Nuclear Association and the International Atomic Energy Agency. As such, it follows both agencies recommendations in terms of nuclear waste management. Currently (2018) it includes spent fuel storage facilities at the Laguna Verde nuclear power plant. Low-level waste is stored at a near-surface disposal site at La Piedrera, in the northern state of Zacatecas, since 1985.
The nuclear wastes are currently placed in underground storage units (long tubes of radioactive waste materials) all over the country or all over the world.
The government and companies will pay states and cities money for using their land for storage of nuclear waste. Nuclear waste can be dangerous, but when stored safely it is no danger. Nuclear waste is produced by nuclear power plants, which produce large amounts of cheap electricity.
