Detailed explanation-1: -Low-level radioactive waste is collected and transported safely to one of four disposal facilities in South Carolina, Washington, Utah or Texas. Some low-level waste can be stored at the plant until its stops being radioactive and is safe to be disposed of like normal trash.
Detailed explanation-2: -The United States has only one deep geologic repository for the disposal of defense-related transuranic waste-the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) near Carlsbad, New Mexico.
Detailed explanation-3: -Due to its radioactivity and highly hazardous properties, nuclear waste is required to be very carefully stored or reprocessed. The storing and reprocessing are further complicated by the long half life of the radioactive materials in the nuclear waste.
Detailed explanation-4: -Two common treatment techniques are: incineration of solid waste and evaporation of liquid waste. The third step in the process – conditioning – brings the waste into a safe, stable and manageable form so it can be transported, stored and disposed.
