Why is waste from nuclear power stations a problem?
The waste is radioactive and therefore ionising. It can cause cancer and "radioactive poisoning"
What is one of the main concerns with nuclear power?
The amount of radioactive waste it produces. And the problem of disposing of that waste.
One problem with using energy is that it produces radioactive waste?
Nuclear? Possibly.
How can the disposal of high-level nuclear waste be a problem?
It's highly radioactive.
What is the biggest with radioactive waste?
The biggest problem with radioactive waste is how to safely and properly dispose of it. Finding suitable disposal facilities for radioactive waste is difficult. Depending on the type of waste disposed, the disposal facility may need to contain radiation for a very long time.
What is biggest problem with radioactive waste?
It has a very long half-life. Disposal of radioactive waste is the biggest problem. Proper disposal is essential to ensure protection of the health and safety of the public and quality of the environment including air, soil, and water supplies.
What is the problem with plants is they have radioactive waste which isvery poisonous to living things?
Nuclear fuels plants all pose a problem because they have radioactive waste which is very poisonous to living things. Many of these plants leak into ground water, or purposely discharge into oceans or seas.
How radioactive waste is disposed?
Most radioactive waste is sealed in special containers, and buried underground. Medical waste that may be radioactive is taken to landfills.
Is it true that one problem with using nuclear energy is that it produces radioactive waste?
Yes, it's true.
What problem is associated with the increase use of nuclear energy?
More radioactive waste products to store safely
What is the biggest problem with radioactive waste?
It has a very long half-life. Disposal of radioactive waste is the biggest problem. Proper disposal is essential to ensure protection of the health and safety of the public and quality of the environment including air, soil, and water supplies.
