Waste Nuclear Environment
Waste Nuclear Environment
Nuclear waste is an issue for the nuclear industry. Some of these materials are highly radiactive and require cooling and careful storage to avoid meltdowns and radioactive releases. No facilities exist for the long term storage of waste. Nuclear waste is an unfunded problem to future generations.
