Nuclear waste management involves the safe handling, treatment, and disposal of waste produced from nuclear power plants and other nuclear facilities. This waste can be highly radioactive and requires careful planning to protect human health and the environment. The process includes several steps: storage, transportation, and final disposal. Initially, waste is stored on-site in secure containers. Eventually, it may be transported to a designated facility for long-term storage or disposal, often in deep geological formations, to ensure it remains isolated from the public and ecosystems for thousands of years.
