Question

Write a note on radioactive waste.

Answer 1

Radioactive waste is nuclear fuel that is produced after being used inside of a nuclear reactor. Although it looks the same as it did before it went inside of the nuclear producer it has changed compounds and is nothing like the same. What is left is considered radioactive material and is very dangerous to anyone. This is very dangerous and remains this way for not just a few years but for thousands of years. It must be handled in the right manner so not to cause a ton of devastation in the world. It could take just seconds to die from exposure to radioactive materials. In short, radioactive waste is a kind of waste in gas, liquid or solid form that contain radioactive nuclear substance.

they are wastes which release radioactivity from nuclides of their elements. Traces of radio-active elements occur in a number of products, e.g polonium in tobacco, random in doors etc.

There are three 3 types of radioactive wastes:-

• Low level, intermediate level and high level.

• Low level radiation is extremely small amount of radioactivity which enters coolant water used in atomic reactors and ponds used for radioactivity of spent fuel.

• Intermediate level radiation:- it is the radiation which is not accompanied by liberation of much heat.
