Three problems associated with nuclear waste
Chemical energy does not change into nuclear energy. Chemical energy is associated with the bonds between atoms in molecules, whereas nuclear energy is associated with changes in the nucleus of an atom, such as nuclear fission or fusion.
Nuclear
Nuclear physics, fuel enrichment and fabrication, metallurgy, welding, instrumentation, chemistry, radiation measuring, and civil, electrical, and mechanical engineering, to name a few, are areas of technology associated with nuclear energy.
No, it is not.
Nuclear accidents resulting in radiation leaks can be a potential problem of using more nuclear energy.
Yes, but it is a manageable problem
No, mass does not increase during a nuclear change. According to the principle of mass-energy equivalence (E=mc^2), the mass of the reactants is converted into energy during a nuclear change.
Nuclear power
Not quite. The problem of getting rid of the nuclear waste has not been satisfactorily solved.
