What else can I help you with?
Where are nuclear waste from nuclear power plants currently stored?
In the US they're stored on site.
Where does the US send nuclear waste?
For now nuclear waste is stored on site where the waste was generated. In a few years US will begin to store nuclear waste in Yucca Mountain, Nevada but no official date has been set.
Where is high level nuclear waste currently stored in the US?
On the power station sites, in water filled tanks or sometimes after some years in dry stores
How do nuclear fuels relate to environmental issues?
Nuclear fuels is not only bad for us, but for the enviornment. Some nuclear plants dump nuclear waste in rivers, oceans, lakes and ponds. This can kill and injure living organisms including us. It is not even good to bury it in the ground. Nuclear waste has to be specially desposed.
Why is the US currently in negotiations with North Korea?
They are making nuclear weapons.
What form of nuclear energy is currently being used to produce electricity in the US?
The only form of nuclear energy currently used in the US, or anywhere in the world for that matter, to produce electricity is nuclear fission. There are ongoing experiments to attempt to use nuclear fusion, but the technological problems with that have not paid off yet.
Is the us currently making nuclear weapons?
No. But old ones are being refurbished.
Which countries currently have nuclear weapons?
US, UK, Russia, France, China, India, Israel, Pakistan, North Korea, South Africa are the countries that currently have nuclear weapons.
How much waste do the nuclear power plants in the US make each year?
Nuclear power plants in the US produce approximately 2,000-2,300 metric tons of radioactive waste each year. This waste is mainly in the form of used nuclear fuel, which is stored on-site at the plants until a long-term disposal solution is established.
After the US made 32000 nuclear bomb from fear of communisum how much nuclear waste was the US left with?
if the US did make 32000 nuclear weapons (it did not) they all can be dismantled and put into civillian nuclear reactors, where the fission process converts the plutonium into other (slightly weird) by producucts. If you are wondering about the amount of waste made by the original breeder reactors, just as much as a normal reactor.
What does nuclear fission do for us?
It currently provides 19 percent of electricity in the US and a little less world-wide
How many nuclear bombs are being made by the us?
None, the US currently only refurbishes existing bombs.
