Nuclear waste management involves the safe handling, treatment, and disposal of waste generated from nuclear power plants and other nuclear activities. This waste can remain hazardous for thousands of years, necessitating secure storage solutions to protect human health and the environment.
Effective nuclear waste management strategies include methods such as deep geological repositories and interim storage facilities. These approaches aim to isolate radioactive materials from the biosphere, ensuring that they do not pose a risk to future generations while also addressing public concerns about safety and environmental impact.
