How is holding nuclear waste good for the coomunity?
The government and companies will pay states and cities money
for using their land for storage of nuclear waste. Nuclear waste
can be dangerous, but when stored safely it is no danger. Nuclear
waste is produced by nuclear power plants, which produce large
amounts of cheap electricity.

What does the nuclear waste policy act of 1982 accomplish?
The Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982 set a timetable for both
temporary and permanent storage of nuclear waste in the United
States by the mid 1990s.
There is no permanent storage facility, and there are no
temporary storage facilities, so one might be tempted to say the
act did not accomplish anything at all. Nevertheless, it did enable
the nuclear industry to create waste without having a place or
procedure to deal with it.

Asked in Nuclear Physics, Radioactive Waste, Nuclear Fission
Does Nuclear fission as used in nuclear power plants produces radioactive waste with long half lives?
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.

Asked in Radioactive Waste
Where is nuclear waste a problem?
The challenge of making nuclear power safer doesn't end
after the power has been generated. Nuclear fuel remains
dangerously radioactive for thousands of years after it is
no longer useful in a commercial reactor. The resulting
waste disposal problem has become a major challenge
for policymakers.

Can nuclear wastes cause explosions?
Nuclear waste can not case an explosion is it's spent form. Once
a reactor is done with Uranium rods as fuel they are put into lead
lined containers and transported to spent fuel storage. A nuclear
reactor can explode from hydrogen build up in the containment
vessel, this is due to the reaction going on in the steam
generation process, this does not happen in nuclear waste storage
facilities.

Asked in Waste and Recycling, Nuclear Fission
Does nuclear fission create any waste materials?
nuclear fission results in the presence of used nuclear fuel
that should be:
either reprocessed (to gain back the remaining uranium and
produced plutonium and to get the fission products as vitrified
waste), or
stored as high active waste; either under water or in dry
storage casks.
