The size of nuclear waste produced by the nuclear industry is very smaller compared with other wastes that produced by fossil generated. Each year nuclear power plant produced the radioactive waste worldwide about 200,000 m3. There are several type of level waste that produced by nuclear power plant are :1)Exempt waste & very low level waste is contains radioactive materials at a level which is not considered as harmful to people and the surrounding environment. It contain mainly of material of concrete, plaster, bricks, metal, valves, piping that produced during improvement or destroying the operations on nuclear industrial sites.2) low-level waste is generated from the hospital and industry, as well as the nuclear fuel cycle. It from paper, rags, tools, clothing, filters which contain small amounts of radioactivity. Also it does not require shielding during handling and transport. 3)Intermediate-level waste contain higher amount of radioactivity and it requires shielding and handled carefully. It typically contain substance from chemical sludges and metal fuel cladding, as well as contaminated materials from reactor decommissioning.4)High-level waste come from the burning of uranium fuel in a nuclear reactor. It is highly radioactive and hot due to decay heat, so requires cooling and shielding.
The significant of the high level radioactive waste disposal was to protect the people and environment. The nuclear waste is Used fuel gives high-level waste that contain high radioactive.To disopel the waste of nuclear, they use a typical reactor generates about 27 tonnes of used fuel which may be reduced to 3 m3 per year. Also they disposal the radioactive waste by geography storage in underground in safe place that cannot affect the environment. It have handled and stored safely since nuclear power began.
In my opinion nuclear energy is good for the country because it can help to developed better country and economics system, environment. I agree that, if we misused the Nuclear energy it can be most destructive energy for humanity and environment. if we used energy for better reason it can help the people to cure disease and major issue like global warming will not happen.
