Description

This work gives the advantages of nuclear power over non-nuclear power. It discusses in details the type of radioactive waste produced due to nuclear power generation. Radioactive wastes can be classified as long-lived and middle lived wastes. Waste of these categories comprise mostly of fission products, structural materials and residue actinides. Hazard of radioactive waste, particularly long-lived radioactive wastes can be reduced by transmutation, compacting waste for storage and by following the rules of waste disposal strictly
