TINT low-level radioactive waste barrels.

Radioactive waste is waste that contains radioactive material. Radioactive waste is usually a by-product of nuclear power generation and other applications of nuclear fission or nuclear technology, such as researchand medicine. Radioactive waste is hazardous to all forms of life and the environment, and is regulated by government agencies in order to protect human health and the environment.

Radioactivity naturally decays over time, so radioactive waste has to be isolated and confined in appropriate disposal facilities for a sufficient period until it no longer poses a threat. The time radioactive waste must be stored for depends on the type of waste and radioactive isotopes. Current approaches to managing radioactive waste have been segregation and storage for short-lived waste, near-surface disposal for low and some intermediate level waste, and deep burial or partitioning / transmutation for the high-level waste.

A summary of the amounts of radioactive waste and management approaches for most developed countries are presented and reviewed periodically as part of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Joint Convention on the Safety of Spent Fuel Management and on the Safety of Radioactive Waste Management.[1]

Radioactive waste should be entrapped in low radiation barrels where the gamma rays cannot escape from the barrels.

Radioactive waste are one of the most dangerous type of waste which is generated from the radioactive stations for from the generation of heat in the the radioactive thermal plants and in other radioactive sources. It is very much harmful for the environment so should be disposed very much carefully so that it does not cause any harm to the other organisms. So they are enclosed in barrels from which radioactive emission cannot escape from the barrel surface.
