Nuclear waste can take thousands to millions of years to decay completely, depending on the type of radioactive material.
THE TWO KINDS OF WASTE ARE THE BIODEGRADABLE AND NON-BIODEGRADABLE BIODEGRADABLE WASTE THAT ARE DECAYING NON-BIODEGRADABLE WASTE THAT WILL NOT DECAY AS TIME PASS
Non-biodegradable waste does decay, but the decaying process cannot be accelerated by biological agents, as they do not contain the correct molecules for living things to use as nutrients.
Fission reactions Fusion reactions Alpha decay Beta decay
Decay
Domestic waste are products that are liable to decay while industrial waste is any material that is rendered futile after a manufacturing process
It can take from 25-25 million years for nuclear waste to decay.
Waste is sometimes made into energy through the process of decay. As garbage decays, it releases gases. These gases are collected and burned for fuel.
Absolutely ! Nuclear waste takes hundreds - perhaps thousands of years to decay. Many generations of people to come will have to manage the storage and disposal of nuclear waste.
dudee........You wont see it. Its 10,000 years.
Animals eat food and absorb the vitamins, nutrients and energy and produce waste from the materials the body does not need. The bodies of dead animals also decay and produce waste.
Radioactive waste remains hot for thousands of years primarily due to the decay of radioactive isotopes it contains. As these isotopes decay, they release energy in the form of heat and radiation. Some isotopes have long half-lives, meaning they take thousands to millions of years to decay to safe levels, thus prolonging the heat generation. This process creates a significant challenge for safe storage and management of nuclear waste over extended time periods.
