Hot Problems
A Catalyst article about high-level nuclear waste. It is hot, corrosive and a source of intense radiation. The nuclear industry is seeking safe ways to deal with such waste, and wants the public to help shape the decisions that are made. This article presents some information about the options for the storage of radioactive waste, and suggests ways to join in the decision-making process.
This article is from Catalyst: GCSE Science Review 2004, Volume 14, Issue 4.
