Some of the waste from nucular power plants is solid -- that goes into the temporary holding pools which have been in use a few decades and are really full; some is liquid -- that is released slowly to the cooling water and hence a river or ocean; and some is gaseous -- that goes up the stack and out into the air of the community. The stacks are built tall for the same reason smokestacks are tall; to dilute the pollutant.
