the first benefit of nuclear power is that Radioactive Waste
the nuclear waste contain radio isotopes with long half-lives.
This means that the radio isotopes stay in the atmosphere in some from or the other
The main objective of radioactive waste management is to deal with radioactive waste in a manner that protects human health and the environment now and in the future without imposing undue burdens on future generations
However, radioactive waste generation is a reality and a consequence of a number of Man's activities:
nuclear power generation both for electricity and propulsion, with implications for the whole of the nuclear fuel cycle;
accidental arisings of waste from incidents such as Chernobyl;
the military defence programmes of a number of countries;
the application of radioactivity in medicine and industry;
the enhancement of naturally occurring radionuclides due to human activity.
