What else can I help you with?
What happens to fish inhabiting water polluted by radioactive waste?
They die.
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 happens to Radioactive waste after?
most radioactive waste is put into special drums that are shipped to a special radioactive waste dump.some of it is concealed in sheets of glass or concrete and put in a place where it wont be touched for many of many years to come this is the most efficient way of doing it.
What happens if radioactive waste is dumped in the sea?
YEs The radioactive materials would probaly kill the sea creatures
How radioactive waste is disposed?
Most radioactive waste is sealed in special containers, and buried underground. Medical waste that may be radioactive is taken to landfills.
Is biomedical waste mixed with radioactive waste is managed and disposed of as radioactive waste?
Yes, biomedical waste that is mixed with radioactive waste is typically managed and disposed of as radioactive waste. This is due to the potential hazards associated with radioactive materials, which require specialized handling, treatment, and disposal procedures to ensure safety. Regulations often mandate that such mixed waste is treated according to the more stringent standards applicable to radioactive waste to mitigate health risks and environmental contamination.
Does the process of fission produce radioactive waste?
Yes, the process of fission produces radioactive waste.
What has the author Robert E Berlin written?
Robert E. Berlin has written: 'Radioactive waste management' -- subject(s): Radioactive waste disposal, Radioactive waste sites
What happens to an element when it emits radioactive particles?
IT changes into a new, usually lighter element.
Radioactive waste bag color?
Radioactive waste bags would usually be either yellow or bright orange, with the radioactivity trefoil printed on it along with warnings. It should be noted, that though Radioactive waste SHOULD be stored in Yellow bags, and tagged as "Radioactive Waste", Not all yellow bags contain radioactive waste, And, yellow bags that one finds loose, without a tag, MAY BE Radioactive Waste, and treated as a "SPILL", or "Loss of control of Radioactive Material". At that point, proper personnel should be notified, and the person finding the bag, should stand fast, allowing NO ONE to go anywhere NEAR the bag, until it has been disposed of by trained and certified personnel, and the area around and leading to the bag, declared "Clean". Naturally, this type of action and problem usually only occurs in and around places that handle Radioactive Material/Waste. But, a Hospital, DOES quite often handle both low level, and HIGH level Radioactive Materiel, and therefore, Yellow bags, should be assumed Radioactive, properly tagged or not.
Can you get power from the radioactive element Xenon?
xenon is usually a waste product of nuclear reactors and although has power not that much
Where is most high-level radioactive waste put?
radioactive waste go somewhere probally in a labratory
