They plan to store it below the base ofYucca Mountain in the VERY BARREN Nevada Yucca Desert
By nuclear power plants
Nuclear Fission
Nuclear power plants use the heat from the radioactive decay of Uranium or other radioactive atoms to boil water and make steam to run electrical generators.

Yes, the radioactive decay of Uranium-235 is used to produce power in nuclear power plants.
It contains a higher amount of radioactivity
Widespread radioactive contamination
I think it is uranium
Yes, nuclear weapons can be scrapped. The radioactive materials can be used in nuclear power plants.
NIMBY
Uranium is very important as a nuclear fuel for nuclear power plants. But uranium is toxic and radioactive.
nuclear plants because the fission reaction releases lots of radioactive particles causing radioactivity..
