Turkey Point Nuclear Generating Station manages its nuclear waste primarily by storing spent nuclear fuel on-site in a dry cask storage facility. Initially, spent fuel is stored in spent fuel pools, where it is cooled and shielded by water. Over time, as the radioactive material decays, the fuel is transferred to robust, sealed casks designed to safely contain the waste for long periods. The facility follows strict regulatory guidelines to ensure the safe handling and storage of nuclear waste.

How does turkey point get rid of its nuclear waste?
Intombment
Can our nuclear waste go in to your water?
no, its not safe to dispose nuclear waste in water,rather it would be safe to dispose it in common salt trenches.
How would you dispose of harmful nuclear waste?
One method is deep geological disposal, where the waste is stored underground in stable rock formations. Another option is to reprocess the waste to separate out useful materials and reduce its volume. However, there is ongoing research into more advanced technologies to effectively manage and dispose of nuclear waste.
Merits and demerits of nuclear energy?
Merits: it is efficient does not produce green house gases Demerits: it produces nuclear waste that can get people badly sick and eventualy kill them if exsposed to it and the waste is realy hard to "dispose" of
Why is nuclear power stations not good?
They are not good because of the pollution rate and the fact that the waste production is very hard to dispose of
How much does it cost to dispose of nuclear waste?
Depending on where it is stored it could cause major pollution problems or even deaths.
What should you do with rubbish outdoors?
Pack your rubbish back out with you and dispose of it in an approved waste collection point.
Why are nuclear waste at times said to be a problem which is too complicated to solve?
Nuclear wastes are sometimes said to be a problem too difficult to solve because the waste stays radioactive for so long. The only thing that gets rid of nuclear waste is time.
What testing was done at yucca mountain?
There was no testing done at Yucca mountain; it is just a place where they plan on storing nuclear waste in order to dispose of it.
Should the U.S expand its nuclear energy program?
Probably but the need to secure and dispose of nuclear waste must be considered as well as other energy sources like wind, geo-thermal. solar and tides.
A major scientific concern over nuclear energy is how to -?
safely manage and dispose of radioactive waste, prevent the risk of catastrophic accidents like meltdowns, and ensure the security of nuclear materials to prevent misuse or theft.
What do they the poultry processing mfgs do with the millions of turkey heads from thanksgiving?
Most people throw them away. The turkey head is not the best part of the turkey. The turkey is so big that if you dispose the head, then you have not lost much of the turkey meat. Also, it is a waste to try to get all the extra meat through all of the turkey head organs and the beek. The manufacturing companies toss the turkey heads and feet into the mounds of turkey/chicken fecal matter. This waste matter breaks down and dissolves the turkey heads and feet.
