Radioactive waste is the environmental waste by-product of nuclear energy.

Explanation:

High level waste, Intermediate level waste and Low-level waste are the types of nuclear waste based on their radioactivity.

  • Fuel taken out from the reactor with highly radioactive products are regarded as High-Level waste. HLW are buried directly underground.
  • The waste from treatment process and maintenance work are considered as Intermediate level waste. These wasted are stored in temporary storage in nuclear power station.
  • The low level waste is obtained from daily usage materials like paper, gloves, and plastic containers with less radioactivity.
