Question

Which of the following waste is present in coolant water from atomic reactors?

• A. Solid municipal waste
• B. Low-level radioactive waste
• C. High-level radioactive waste
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is B Low-level radioactive waste

A nuclear reactor coolant is used to remove heat from the nuclear reactor core and transfer it to electrical generator which produce electricity. All the nuclear power plant use water as a coolant under high pressure. water is non radioactive material so there is low level of radioactive waste in coolant.

So, the correct option is 'Low-level radioactive wastes'.
