Where is radioactive waste stored in?

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...

The materials in spent fuel will remain radioactive for a long time for this reason the waste must be disposed of in extremely durable and stable containers. ...

Radioactive wastes are stored in mines; in normal condition they have a nonsignificant effect on the nature. ...

they store it until it becomes less radioactive

Nuclear waste is stored according to international and local regulations to protect the public and the workers from nuclear radiation and/or radioactive pollution. ...

This depends on the amount, specific activity, chemical form, type of emitted radiations. ...

It depends. Radioactive Waste emitting Alpha particles could be stored in drums within a secure area, since Alpha particles can be stopped by a sheet of paper. Radioactive Waste emitting Beta particles can also be stored in drums within a secure area, since Beta particles can be stopped by a sheet of tin. Radioactive Waste particles emitting Gamma rays require many feet of dense lead in order to stop the radiation. These wastes are generally stored within secure areas underground, or remote areas away from...

the radioactive material is being stored in lead.

Yes, it is possible but also other materials were used.

It is a waste material that is radioactive, particularly the waste from nuclear reactors and medical treatment and research. ...

Most radioactive waste is sealed in special containers, and buried underground. Medical waste that may be radioactive is taken to landfills. ...

Radioactive waste is created by geological pressure that undergone changes. In this process radioactive waves enter experiments which when they fail they throw away this harazard and nuclear waste that is toxic and causes radioactive waste which is harmful to us and the environment. ...

All plants have radioactive waste, especially fossil fuel plants.

Robert E. Berlin has written: 'Radioactive waste management' -- subject(s): Radioactive waste disposal, Radioactive waste sites ...

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. ...

The biggie as far as radioactive waste is spent nuclear fuel. There is a lot of it around, and that stuff is extremely dangerous. It must be securely stored for a really, really long period of time. There are also waste products associated with industrial uses like cobalt-60 sources that are no longer useful. Any time there are radioactive materials produced for medical applications, we can sometimes see some kind of associated radioactive waste. It appears from the processes, and it might...

It depends upon the type of waste. Urine is stored in the urinary bladder. Solid waste is stored in the large intestine and rectum. ...

It takes years to not be radioactive anymore.

Liquid waste is stored in the bladder (and discharged as urine).

Radioactive waste is nearly always a mixture but it is possible to be a pure substance. ...

radioactive waste go somewhere probally in a labratory

The waste is radioactive and therefore ionising. It can cause cancer and "radioactive poisoning" ...

Radioactive waste bags would usually be either yellow or bright orange, with the radioactivity trefoil printed on it along with warnings. It should be noted, that though Radioactive waste SHOULD be stored in Yellow bags, and tagged as "Radioactive Waste", Not all yellow bags contain radioactive waste, And, yellow bags that one finds loose, without a tag, MAY BE Radioactive Waste, and treated as a "SPILL", or "Loss of control of Radioactive Material". At that point, proper personnel should be notified, and the...

No. The products of nuclear fusion are not radioactive.

the kind of waste stored in the human bladder is urine
