Radioactive solid nuclear wastes are disposed off by _________________?
Correct answer: A. Underground burial in concrete containers
- A. Underground burial in concrete containers
- B. Pathological incineration
- C. Pyrolysis
- D. High temperature incineration
Explanation
Radioactive solids cannot be safely destroyed by ordinary incineration or pyrolysis because their radioactivity remains. They are isolated by placing them in suitable containers and burying them in a controlled underground repository.
