A Review of Radioactive Waste and its Safe Disposal

Abstract

Byproducts of different nuclear processes or nuclear chain reactions, which are frequently employed for energy purposes, include radioactive waste. Nuclear waste is created by a variety of processes, including the mining of uranium ore, the synthesis of nuclear fuel, the creation and utilization of radionuclides, and the production of therapeutic byproducts. This waste's radioactive characteristics can change depending on its condition and can be in solid, liquid, or gas form. We will mostly discuss the following in this paper: 1) History of Nuclear power, 2) Uses across globe and its waste generation, 3) Types of Nuclear Waste, 4) Safe Storage and Treatment, 5) Formulating a synthesis and safe uses of nuclear waste.
