Where can nuclear waste be found?
Most USA nuclear waste is stored in nuclear power plants, until something better can be found. Other countries have a tendency to put their nuclear waste in barrels and drop them into the deep parts of the oceans, and they hope the barrels never corrode or leak.
Where do people put all the nuclear waste?
Nuclear waste is typically stored in secure facilities called nuclear waste repositories. These repositories are specially designed to safely contain and isolate the radioactive waste from the environment for long periods of time.
How dangerous is the threat of Water contamination from Nuclear waste?
If you put nuclear waste in a situation where groundwater can flow over it on the way to a water course, you will obviously get contamination. Nuclear waste stores have to be very carefully considered to find locations that are safe from water access.
Definition of nuclear power plant waste?
Primarily it is the spent fuel which contains highly active fission products. There will be small amounts of low level waste arising mainly from maintenance operations, this can usually be put into a dry store on the site.
Did they take chemicals out of spice?
No they put chemicals, steroids, sodium, mixed hormones, cocaine, and nuclear waste.
Are nuclear bombs getting put in the deserts?
becaue if people3 do it in america you with go to juail
Why would the government be interested in the development of nuclear power energy?
It is much more cleaner and lasts a lot longer than fossil fuels. The only problem is where to put the nuclear waste.
After the US made 32000 nuclear bomb from fear of communisum how much nuclear waste was the US left with?
if the US did make 32000 nuclear weapons (it did not) they all can be dismantled and put into civillian nuclear reactors, where the fission process converts the plutonium into other (slightly weird) by producucts. If you are wondering about the amount of waste made by the original breeder reactors, just as much as a normal reactor.
Can nuclear wastes cause explosions?
Nuclear waste can not case an explosion is it's spent form. Once a reactor is done with Uranium rods as fuel they are put into lead lined containers and transported to spent fuel storage. A nuclear reactor can explode from hydrogen build up in the containment vessel, this is due to the reaction going on in the steam generation process, this does not happen in nuclear waste storage facilities.
Where is uranium waste put?
Uranium waste is typically stored in secure facilities called nuclear waste repositories. These facilities are designed to safely contain and isolate radioactive waste from the environment for long periods of time. Additionally, some waste may be reprocessed or recycled to extract useful materials and reduce the volume of waste.
Why don't they take all the nuclear waste products and put it in a rocket and shoot it toward the sun than it would burn up?
First off, taking all nuclear waste products and putting it in a rocket and shooting it toward the sun so then it would burn up could cause problems with out atmosphere. The way the nuclear waste products are handled now is what has been studied and found to be the best possible disposal of the waste products without causing further damage to the people, surrounding areas, and the atmosphere.
How does nuclear power improve air quality?
Nuclear energy (power) does not improve air quality in any way at all. It just does not create air polution when it is being used to make electricity. The problem with Nuclear power though is finding somewhere to put the radioactive waste which is a different kind of polutant.
