Chapter 8.2, Problem 12R

To determine

The classification of the nuclear waste and the method of the waste disposal.

Answer to Problem 12R

The nuclear waste is of the low level type and it disposes in a spill proof container to isolated place.

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

The waste material that generates in a nuclear reaction is called nuclear waste. This waste is further reused or disposed to isolated space.

The nuclear waste classifies on the basis of the amount of the waste. If the amount is less then it is called low level nuclear waste and the waste in the large amount is called high level nuclear waste.

The nuclear waste disposes according to the amount and the intensity of the material. The amount of the nuclear waste in the research project is $10\text{g}$ . The nuclear waste of the research project is low level nuclear waste. The nuclear waste of the research project disposes to isolated region in a spill proof container by storing underground.

Conclusion:

Thus, the nuclear waste is of the low level type and it disposes in a spill proof container to isolated place.
