Exhibits: Radioactive Waste; Handle with Care

Back to Exhibit Floor Plan

Radioactive waste occurs at all stages of the nuclear fuel cycle, whether it be from producing electricity or from nuclear medicine applications.  Nuclear waste and its related issues are often hot items in our news.  Visitors will see and learn what is being done with radioactive waste currently and what we can expect will happen with this waste in the future. 

Exhibition and Components:  Dealing safely with radioactive waste is critical to the environment as well our own safety.  Visitors will learn how waste is characterized, treated, handled, transported and stored.  Future options for recycling and reprocessing of radioactive waste will also be exhibited.
