What are the different types of radioactive waste?
In the U.S., radioactive waste is divided into three main types, classified according to their activity, their heat generation potential, and what they physically contain. These three main levels are low level waste (LLW), transuranic waste (TRU), and high level waste (HLW). For each of these types of waste, there is a specific disposal solution -- above ground storage or shallow burial for low level waste and deep repository storage for transuranic and high level wastes. In most other countries, nuclear waste is categorized as low level waste, intermediate level waste, and high level waste. The reason for this different classification system is that in the U.S. waste is classified based on where it comes from; in most other countries, waste is classified according to what the effects of the waste might be. In both classifications, low level waste represents about 90% of all radioactive waste
Where is most of the high-level waste from nuclear reactors stored?
In the US they're stored on site.
How are programs stored in a computer?
By stored-program computer, we mean a machine in which the program, as well as the data, are stored in memory, each word of which can be accessed in uniform time. Most of the high-level language programming the reader.
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.
Where would you store nuclear waste in Texas?
Well, there is a Low Level Disposal site in Andrews, Texas ran by WCS ( Waste Control Specialists). They currently just except waste from Texas and Vermont But WCS is trying to pass the export rule to allow waste from 36 other states. Which if anything happens like contamination or accidents with the waste, Texas and its tax payers will be responsible. Check out the link below!
Does nuclear waste glow green?
No- but it looks good in the comics. Most radioactive waste does not glow in ANY color. Very high level radioactive may exhibit Cherenkov radiation effects, and glow blue or purple.
Which level contains the most stored energy?
The level containing the most stored energy is the primary producer level. This is because primary producers, like plants, convert sunlight into chemical energy through photosynthesis, which is then passed on to consumers at higher trophic levels.
Where are fluid waste products stored?
Fluid waste products, or urine, are stored in the bladder. This muscular organ can hold up to 18 ounces (or half a litre) of urine (in most healthy adults)m before we feel the urge to empty it.
How does the half-life of a radioactive waste affect the types 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.
