Nuclear Radiation Problem
- Radiation is produced by the nuclear reactions occurring in the spontaneous degradation of the waste over time
- The radiation is dangerous
- Need is to contain the radiation for a long time.
- Need to protect the environment and biosphere
Radiation Level and Containment
Gamma Rays pose the major problem-These can be contained, and therein lies the BASIS of the solution to the problem
Decay of high level radiation over short time period
