Radioactive Waste Disposal
Radioactive waste disposal involves the safe management and containment of materials that emit radiation, typically generated from nuclear power plants, medical facilities, and research institutions. This waste can be hazardous to human health and the environment, so it must be handled with care.
There are several methods for disposing of radioactive waste, including deep geological storage, where waste is buried deep underground in stable rock formations, and surface storage, where waste is kept in secure containers above ground. Proper disposal is crucial to prevent contamination and ensure safety for future generations.
