Low level Contaminated equipment, materials and protective clothing They are put in drums and surrounded by concrete, and put into clay lined landfill sites.
Intermediate level Components from nuclear reactors, radioactive sources used in medicine or research They are mixed with concrete, then put in a stainless steel drum in a purpose-built store.
High level Used nuclear fuel and chemicals from reprocessing fuels They are stored underwater in large pools for 20 years, then placed in storage casks in purpose-built underground store where air can circulate to remove the heat produced. High level waste decays into intermediate level waste over many thousands of years.
