What waste is produced from nuclear power stations?
nuclear waste
What does nuclear waste contain?
nuclear waste contains about 90 % of nuclear fuel but it is much harmful then nuclear itself.
Why the nuclear waste harmful?
Because it is radioactive
What kind of nuclear waste are produced by nuclear energy?
Radioactive waves
Why is nuclear technology important and why is it also harmful?
nuclear is important because if no nuclear we cant fresh the air. it is harmful because of the waste that through in any space
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 kind of toxic waste is produced near nuclear energy?
It is produced by the product of a nuclear plant by the uranium turning waste/gunk radioactive and the gunk flowing through waste pipes and having a black tint -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Actually Uranium gets split into Barium and Krypton along with release of immense heat energy. These by products are highly radioactive. These would emit harmful gamma radiations. These are considered as nuclear waste. Some innovative techniques have to be found so as to recycle these without any harm. Definitely human brain would catch that soon.
What is the harmful radiation released by nuclear wastes?
There are various kinds of harmful ionizing radiation. These include alpha, beta, and gamma rays; free neutrons; X-rays; and ultraviolet light. Depending on the specifics of the waste, nuclear waste can emit alpha, beta, and gamma rays, and neutrons.
Are you made of stars?
Yes indeed! We all are made of nitrogen in our DNA, produced as stellar nuclear waste by the nuclear fusion in the cores of stars
Could nuclear fission ever become renewable?
No, fission is still a fuel in - waste out reaction. Eventually the supply of nuclear fuel would run out.
Is nuclear harmful to people?
I'm pretty sure nuclear has a bad affect on humans. It really depends on what you mean by Nuclear. If you mean Nuclear Energy, no. It is vital. If you mean Nuclear Waste, yes. It is deadly. If you mean the Nucleus of an atom. It is part you you.
Does nuclear energy create air pollution and carbon monoxide?
No. Its only waste product is the depleted core which is quite harmful.
