Nuclear Waste Disposal Cole Henrie Nuclear waste disposal is the storage of used radioactive material or the leftover by products.

Equations Th – In the first equation it is a beta decay. This being so, at the end of its usage, it catches and extra neutron and adds it on the thorium making it, Th 232,91

Facts Transport will be conducted by rail and road, using massive, sealed containers that meet strict safety and security requirements. If the nuclear fuel is used only once or recycled for multiple use, the disposal of high-level radioactive byproducts will be stored in a permanent geologic repository They are classified as low-level, medium-level or high-level wastes, according to the amount and types of radioactivity in them. If the waste is transported by train and it falls/spills into a lake that could be very bad because it could affect water usage or animal life Ways and where to store Material Seal inside a corrosion-resistant container, like a stainless steel. Surround containers with bentonite clay to keep any groundwater movement if the repository is likely to be wet. Locate deep underground in a stable rock structure.

Controversy The focus of the study is the safety of the waste disposal as well as minimizing the health and safety risks. It is crucial to understand the development and proper implementation of nuclear waste to decrease the risk of devastating events that can change history Proper disposal is key to protecting the public's health and safety and the quality of the environment. However, because it can be so hazardous and can remain radioactive for so long, finding suitable disposal facilities for radioactive waste is difficult. Depending on the type of waste disposed, the disposal facility may need to contain radiation for a very long time.
