nuclear waste is a never ending source of hurt for the environment. truly we should try to contain it for 500 to a thousand years as the waste it produces is deadly and can cause tumors or cancer.

How long does radioactive iodine stay in the body after a radioactive iodine thyroid treatment?

Radioactive iodine can stay in the body for a couple of days to a few weeks after a radioactive iodine thyroid treatment. The time it takes for the radioactivity to decrease to a safe level depends on the dose given and individual factors. It is important to follow safety guidelines to minimize exposure to others during this time.

How much nuclear waste is produced each year?

The radioactive fission products from a nuclear reactor are contained in the spent fuel and they stay there whilst the fuel is stored under water or eventually in concrete flasks. Waste will only be produced if and when the spent fuel is broken down and chemically treated, probably to separate out the U-238 and plutonium, which may be worth doing. The waste is then the proportion which is not useful and it will consist of the fission products, ie a range of different elements and their isotopes, many of which are highly radioactive. This material is highly dangerous to life and must be stored safely for a long time (centuries)

What are the waste products of nuclear power?

It creates nuclear waste that can stay radioactive for thousands of years. The result is that it has to be buried in a hole at least 1 mile deep. The fission process yields neutrons, gamma rays, and radioactive elements which can also emit neutrons, alpha particles, beta rays, gamma rays, x-rays, and positrons.

How long does radiation stay around?

Radioactivity gradually falls in all radioactive materials, how quickly it falls depends on the half-life of the material. The radioactivity of a material with a short half-life will fall alot quicker than the radioactivity of a material with a long half-life.
