All plants have radioactive waste, especially fossil fuel plants.
i dont know i thinf grgeg
What type of reaction produces the most dangerous radioactive waste?
yes, Nuclear fission as used in nuclear power plants produces radioactive waste with long half lives. However, this creates no problems. 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.
most radioactive waste is put into special drums that are shipped to a special radioactive waste dump.some of it is concealed in sheets of glass or concrete and put in a place where it wont be touched for many of many years to come this is the most efficient way of doing it.
The biggest problem with radioactive waste is how to safely and properly dispose of it. Finding suitable disposal facilities for radioactive waste is difficult. Depending on the type of waste disposed, the disposal facility may need to contain radiation for a very long time.

Nuclear fuels plants all pose a problem because they have radioactive waste which is very poisonous to living things. Many of these plants leak into ground water, or purposely discharge into oceans or seas.
It contains a higher amount of radioactivity
they store it until it becomes less radioactive
Most radioactive waste is sealed in special containers, and buried underground. Medical waste that may be radioactive is taken to landfills.

Robert E. Berlin has written: 'Radioactive waste management' -- subject(s): Radioactive waste disposal, Radioactive waste sites
radioactive waste go somewhere probally in a labratory
Radioactive wastes that can last thousands of years
Nuclear Energy produces radioactive waste because if there isnt any sign of nuclear waste/energy in the sullotion/object then it wouldnt be counted as 'Radioactive'.
Radioactive waste is nearly always a mixture but it is possible to be a pure substance.
The waste is radioactive and therefore ionising. It can cause cancer and "radioactive poisoning"
There is no difficulty in disposal of radioactive wastes by power plants except the unjustified concerns of the public that oppose radioactive waste disposal in their vicinity. Currently; there are well established methods and approaches to deal with radioactive waste based on the waste form (solid, liquid. gaseous) and the radioactivity level (low, intermediate, high). Primarily; three methods are applied:delay and decay: to maintain waste in tanks for some periods of time to allow decay of radioactivity and then to be disposed of to environment.dilute and disperse: to dispose to environment (through dilution and dispersion) as ocean, sea, atmosphere, etc.contain and concentrate: This is used mainly for high level radioactive waste as spent fuel or the spent fuel reprocessing products; either in wet storage, dry storage, or incineration&containment in barrels, or vitrified waste.
