1.	How are the wastes produced in nuclear power plant different from those produced in a thermal power plant ? What happens to the waste of a nuclear power plant?
Answer» Solution :The waste obtained from nuclear power plants is highly radioactive in nature which EMITS harmful radiations, Where as waste produced in a THERMAL power PLANT is non- radioactive. Management of nuclear waste is given as follows: • Some products of nuclear waste are buried in sealed steel lead containers for a long term storage, buried under the ground or DUMPED in vocated COAL mines. • Other waste products transfer into less harmful products transform into less harmful products or to production with a shorter half life.
