Which countries have nuclear waste problems?
All countries that have nuclear reactors have nuclear waste and it is always a problem, though a manageable one.
What is the name of the Defunct nuclear waste storage site in Nevada?
It is the Yucca Mountain Nuclear Waste Repository.
The difference between nuclear waste and nuclear weapons?
The exact contents of radioactive waste from a nuclear power plant and radioactive fallout from a nuclear weapon can vary widely but are likely to be similar in their primary isotopes.The major difference between the radioactive waste from a nuclear power plant and radioactive fallout from a nuclear weapon is that the waste is normally contained and will not enter the environment (unless an accident happens) while the fallout is dispersed into the environment and is carried by the wind (sometimes all the way around the world multiple times).
What is concentrate and contain method?
its a method use in nuclear waste management where the waste is concentrated and then isolated. this method also use for non nuclear waste management.
What chemical can destroy nuclear waste?
Nuclear waste has three different types: alpha, beta and gamma. Alpha (helium nucleus) and beta (electron or positron) are subatomic particles, meaning they are pieces of atoms. Gamma is an energy wave. Gamma is the most dangerous type of radioactive waste, although all nuclear waste is potentially hazardous. When a nuclear reaction happens, pieces of atoms fly off and release the energy that held them together, producing gamma radiation as well as the energy we convert into electricity at nuclear power plants. Because nuclear waste is made up of "broken" atoms, it will require a nuclear reaction to get rid of them, essentially putting the atoms back together and reabsorbing the gamma radiation. Unfortunately, chemicals alone are not strong enough to get rid of nuclear waste. Chemicals, or rather radioactive metals, combined with a powerful "reverse" nuclear reactor may work. Scientists have been working on a solution for a few years now. Check out this article: (See related Link)
What happens with the waste from nuclear power?
The waste from nuclear power, known as nuclear waste, is typically stored in secure containers at nuclear power plants or in underground repositories. Different countries have different strategies for managing and disposing of nuclear waste, with some exploring options for recycling or reprocessing it to reduce its volume and radioactivity. Long-term solutions for nuclear waste disposal, such as deep geological repositories, are being developed to ensure safe containment for thousands of years.
What happens when you touch nuclear waste and does it kill you?
i don't know and yes
How do you prevent nuclear waste?
You make your children eat nucular cake.
Is e waste worse than nuclear waste?
nuclear waste is worst
What waste is produced from nuclear power stations?
nuclear waste
Is there nuclear waste in space?
Yes, there is nuclear waste in space.
What are the causes of nuclear and toxic waste?
nuclear waste is a by product of nuclear power plants, or in the creation of nuclear weapons.
What does nuclear waste contain?
nuclear waste contains about 90 % of nuclear fuel but it is much harmful then nuclear itself.
What does France do with nuclear waste?
Because you can reuse 17% of nuclear waste and use it as if it was new.
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.
Which countries have nuclear waste problems?
All countries that have nuclear reactors have nuclear waste and it is always a problem, though a manageable one.
Why is nuclear waste renewable?
Nuclear waste is NOT renewable. It is typically buried and sealed off because of its non-usability and the radiation damage that can afflict people from being in the vicinity of nuclear waste.
