RADIOACTIVE WASTE

industrial, medical and scientific processes uses radioactive materials which produces nuclear/radioactive waste. nuclear waste can have detrimental (harmful) effects on marine habitats. there are some examples of sources that produces nuclear waste below:

• nuclear power stations conducts procedure that produces radioactive waste.
• mining and refining (purifying) of uranium and thorium are also causing marine nuclear waste.
• waste is also produced in the nuclear fuel cycle, which is the series of industrial processes which involve the production of electricity from uranium in nuclear power reactors.
