Where is most high-level radioactive waste put?
radioactive waste go somewhere probally in a labratory
What happens to Radioactive waste after?
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.
What is radioactive substances?
Radioactive substances are the things that put off radiation. These could be radioactive waste, or even radioactive materials not yet used.
What usually happens to radioactive 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.
How radioactive waste is disposed?
Most radioactive waste is sealed in special containers, and buried underground. Medical waste that may be radioactive is taken to landfills.
Is biomedical waste mixed with radioactive waste is managed and disposed of as radioactive waste?
Yes, biomedical waste that is mixed with radioactive waste is typically managed and disposed of as radioactive waste. This is due to the potential hazards associated with radioactive materials, which require specialized handling, treatment, and disposal procedures to ensure safety. Regulations often mandate that such mixed waste is treated according to the more stringent standards applicable to radioactive waste to mitigate health risks and environmental contamination.
Does the process of fission produce radioactive waste?
Yes, the process of fission produces radioactive waste.
What has the author Robert E Berlin written?
Robert E. Berlin has written: 'Radioactive waste management' -- subject(s): Radioactive waste disposal, Radioactive waste sites
How does half life of radioactive waste affect the type of container in which the waste will be stored?
The longer the half-life of radioactive waste, the more consideration will have to be given to the design and construction of the container in which it is stored. This as well as where the container itself is stored. If we look at spent fuel from nuclear reactors, this highly radioactive and extremely long-lived radioactive waste will have to have a most substantial container. The storage container will have to last for many hundreds of years. Low level radioactive waste can be put up in less substantial containers and simply buried in an approved manner at an approved facility.
What kind of energy produces radioactive waste?
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'.
Is radioactive waste a pure substance or a mixture?
Radioactive waste is nearly always a mixture but it is possible to be a pure substance.
Does fusion create radioactive waste?
Yes, fusion does not create long-lived radioactive waste like fission does.
