${\red{Nuclear\:\: radiation \:\:accidents\::-}}$

The radioactive waste coming from nuclear power plants is a great threat to Mother Nature and humans. The devastating effects of Chernobyl disaster still linger in our minds, where the grave effects on humans can be seen even today. Only a few years back, a huge nuclear crisis occurred in Japan on March 8. Although the casualty rate was significantly lower than the Chernobyl disaster, the environmental impacts were disastrous. People who work at nuclear power plants and live near those areas are at high risk of facing nuclear radiations, if it happens. According to these historical happenings, it’s evident that we cannot insulate ourselves 100% from these disasters.

${\red{Radioactive\:\: waste:-}}$

Radioactive waste is any material, whether solid, liquid or gas that consists of a radioactive nuclear substance and the operators of the nuclear plant have determined that it’s a waste. Radioactive material is considered waste after it has spent more than 3 years in the reactor producing heat and electricity. This waste comes from nuclear reactors and needs to be disposed of or stored safely and conveniently considering they are highly dangerous and can let off radiations if disposed of incorrectly.
