Answer:

IT HAS A VERY LONG HALF-LIFE

Step-by-step explanation:

Radioactive wastes are wastes from a nuclear plant or radioactive decays. It storage and disposal is essential because of its radioactive characteristics and hazardous quality that it possesses. Also, disposing responsibly is difficult because of its very long half-life. This means that some radioactive wastes can maintain half of their dangerous levels for several years even more than a million years after production. This proffer constraints on the storage and disposal of radioactive wastes and also the use of nuclear plants. Progress as thus be made and the most current process of disposal of these wastes is by storage either using steel cylinders as radioactive shields or geologic formations despite the fact that leakages can occur and cause environmental hazards.
