Why can't spent nuclear fuel rods be deposited in magma flows to dispense the radioactive material?

Because then, instead of a small volume of relatively concentrated radioactive material, what you get is a large volume of dilute radioactive material that you don't know the exact location of, which may still include relatively concentrated pockets. Dispersion is pretty much exactly what you do notwant to happen with radioactive waste, unless you can precisely control the dispersion and make sure that the concentration is everywhere negligible.

What is produced by splitting the atom of a radioactive material?
nuclear energy
What are the physical characteristics of the material?
- a radioactive material emit nuclear radiations as alpha, beta, gamma, neutrons - a radioactive material disintegrate in time
What kind of nuclear waste are produced by nuclear energy?
Radioactive waves
Radioactive element used for nuclear energy?
One of the radioactive elements used for nuclear energy is 235U92, commonly stated as U-235.
What are unwanted radioactive products formed during nuclear reactions called?
Radioactive waste.
What is necessary for production of nuclear energy?
Radioactive material
How do you use radioactive material?
If you are a smart guy, you can make a nuclear bomb, or a nuclear reactor...
What is produced by splitting the atom of a radioactive material?
nuclear energy
What happens if a nuclear reactor blows up?
A nuclear meltdown will be in process releasing radioactive material
What waste products come from power stations?
Radioactive waste is a waste product containing radioactive material. It is usually the product of a nuclear process such as nuclear fission, though industries not directly connected to the nuclear power industry may also produce radioactive waste.
What are nuclear disasters?
Nuclear disasters are incidents that result in the release of radioactive material from a nuclear facility. They include both minor and major radiation releases.
Where is radioactive material?
There is radioactive material in any country that has done nuclear tests. In The United States of America there were many tests. These were mostly in Nevada. If you were to get clearance to go to the test site you would see the craters everywhere.
How many feet was radioactive material shot in the nuclear explosion at the Russian Chernobl plant in 1986 if radioative material was shot five kilometers?
Radioactive material was shot 16,404.1995 feet in the Chernobl explosion in 1986.
What a radioactive material used for nuclear fission?
Clearly the main nuclear elements are plutonium, URANIUM, and a not widely known one thorium
Where would you dispose the radioactive material from nuclear power plants when you run out of disposal grounds?
NIMBY
Nuclear medicine uses these to image organs for diagnosis and treatment?
radioactive material called a tracer
How fast does radioactive material spread after a nuclear meltdown?
water borne or air? If air what is the weather?
