What happens to the waste of nuclear power plant? |
|
Answer» wastesThe most significant high-level waste from a nuclear reactor is the used nuclear fuel left after it has spent about three years in the reactor generating heat for electricity. Low-level waste is made up of lightly-contaminated ITEMS LIKE tools and WORK clothing from power plant OPERATION and makes up the bulk of radioactive wastes. Items disposed of as intermediate-level wastes might INCLUDE used filters, steel components from within the reactor and some effluents from reprocessing. |
