Question

Suggest a suitable method for disposal of radioactive waste?

Answer 1

• Deep geological disposal is a good method for the disposal of radio wastes.
• Radio wastes are very harmful as they can cause nausea, destruction of the intestinal lining, central nervous system damage and death.
• In deep geological disposal, we isolate the radio active waste deep inside a suitable rock volume to ensure that no harmful radioactive waste ever reach our surface.
• There will be multiple protective barriers to ensure the safety.
• Therefore we can expect safety from this radio active waste for hundreds of years.
