Answer 2

Answer:

Radioactive wastes

These are the wastes produced when nuclear energy is generated from radioactive materials. This nuclear waste is richly supplied with radioactive material which generate large quantities of ionizing radiations like the gamma rays causing mutation in entities resulting in ailments such as skin cancer. These rays can be lethal at high dosages. Harmless disposal of radioactive wastes is a huge challenge. Ideally, nuclear wastes should be stored after pre-treatment in appropriate shielded containers and later buried in rocks.
