Solid Radioactive Waste

 

A nuclear power station produces a small fraction of waste when comparing with a coal-fired station of the same capacity. Some of the waste of a nuclear power station is radioactive which is carefully processed and handled, and is disposed of safely away from the station and given stringent monitoring.
