The disposal method for the high level nuclear waste.
Answer to Problem 14STP
The high level nuclear waste stored and disposes very careful to avoid the harmful and hazardous effects.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The waste material that generates in a nuclear reaction is called nuclear waste. This waste is further reused or disposed to isolated space. The nuclear waste classifies on the basis of the amount of the waste. If the amount is less then it is called low level nuclear waste and the waste in the large amount is called high level nuclear waste.
The nuclear waste disposes according to the amount and the intensity of the material. The half life of the high level nuclear waste is hundred years, so it takes much time to finish. The high level nuclear waste is very hazardous and the less amount of this waste causes highest harmful effects. The high level nuclear waste disposes to isolated region in a spill proof container by storing underground.
Conclusion:
Thus, the high level nuclear waste stored and disposes very careful to avoid the harmful and hazardous effects.
