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 defreent between radioactve and nuclear material?
Radioactive material refers to substances that emit radiation spontaneously, while nuclear material is any material that can undergo nuclear reactions such as fission or fusion. Essentially, all radioactive material is nuclear material, but not all nuclear material is necessarily radioactive.
What is produced by splitting the atom of a radioactive material?
Splitting the atom of a radioactive material produces energy in the form of heat and radiation. This process, called nuclear fission, results in the release of large amounts of energy, which can be harnessed for various applications such as electricity generation in nuclear power plants.
What radioactive material does power plants use?
Power plants typically use uranium as a radioactive material for nuclear energy production. The uranium undergoes a process called nuclear fission to generate heat, which is then used to create steam that drives turbines to produce electricity.
How long does it take for nuclear waste to decay completely?
Nuclear waste can take thousands to millions of years to decay completely, depending on the type of radioactive material.
What kind of nuclear waste are produced by nuclear energy?
Radioactive waves

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...
Why does nuclear energy last 500 years?
Nuclear energy lasts for 500 years because of the half-life of the radioactive material used in nuclear reactions. This means that it takes 500 years for half of the radioactive material to decay into a stable form. After many half-lives, the material becomes non-radioactive and safe for disposal.
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 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.
What a radioactive material used for nuclear fission?
Clearly the main nuclear elements are plutonium, URANIUM, and a not widely known one thorium

Nuclear medicine uses these to image organs for diagnosis and treatment?
radioactive material called a tracer
Where would you dispose the radioactive material from nuclear power plants when you run out of disposal grounds?
NIMBY
