Radioactive waste typically ends up in specialized facilities designed for its storage and disposal, such as geological repositories, where the waste can be isolated from the environment for thousands of years. Low-level waste may be treated and disposed of in near-surface facilities, while high-level waste is often stored in dry casks or pools at nuclear power plants until a permanent solution is implemented. Some countries are developing long-term solutions, including deep geological storage sites, to ensure safe containment. Overall, the management of radioactive waste is a critical aspect of nuclear energy and research safety.
What else can I help you with?
Can you eat radiation?
Well you could eat uranium or other or radioactive waste... But as Uranium is expensive and rare, and radioactive waste is deadly, eating radiation would result in killing you. This will not give you super powers like shown in cartoons, but it will end up with you receiving radiation poisoning.
How does half life of radioactive waste affect the type of container in which the waste will be stored?
The longer the half-life of radioactive waste, the more consideration will have to be given to the design and construction of the container in which it is stored. This as well as where the container itself is stored. If we look at spent fuel from nuclear reactors, this highly radioactive and extremely long-lived radioactive waste will have to have a most substantial container. The storage container will have to last for many hundreds of years. Low level radioactive waste can be put up in less substantial containers and simply buried in an approved manner at an approved facility.
What happens if radioactive waste is dumped in the sea?
YEs The radioactive materials would probaly kill the sea creatures

Where do ipods end up after they are no longer useful?
They end up in the bin and then is generated to E-waste.
Can you prefer to be a nurse or social worker?
You can prefer to be whatever you want. The choice is up to you. You can prefer to be a milkman or a radioactive waste dumper.
Where do mobile phone finally end up when no longer use?
They end up in countries that take electronic waste to make money by burning the chemicals in side to find things like copper and sell them. these countries are usually very poor countries. but by burning these electronic waste the burning chemicals make the people sick and can poison the food.
How do you pick up dog waste?
Usually you take a bag with you and put your hand in the bag, grab the waste, then turn the bag inside out so that your hand is in the outside and the waste is in the bag. Tie it up, throw it out.
Example of radioactive waste?
alpha particles, beta particles, gamma radiation
Where does the waste go on a train?
The waste goes to the sewer. From there it is sent to places where they treat it using three steps. Then they send most of it back to be reused in toilets and sprinklers, or release it into rivers Most of the waste that households produce will end up in a land fill. Most of the organic waste is usually piled in layers in the hopes that it decomposes and breaks down into humus.
What creates radioactive waste?
Spent fuel is stored under water because the residual radioactivity of the fission products is still appreciable and has a long half life. If there is any slight damage to the fuel cladding, probably due to corrosion, even a pinhole fault, the water can become contaminated, and it's difficult to clean up.
Why isn't it advisable to jump in radioactive nuclear waste water?
It's not advisable to jump into radioactive nuclear waste water because radioactivity has been proven to cause cancer and a hose of other diseases. Unfortunately life isn't like a comic book where jumping into radioactivity can give you super powers. You will probably just wind up very ill.
