What is nuclear waste and why should it not be dumped into the sea or left exposed on land?
Nuclear waste is the spent fuel discharged from the reactor, and it is highly radioactive and would rapidly kill any person or animal exposed to it. Therefore it must always be well shielded. At first after removal from the reactor it is kept immersed in water, but after some time it can be removed into shielded containers. It would never be dumped into the sea, as the zirconium sheath material would be corroded after years and allow the dangerous material to escape.
