==Key Stage 4==
===Meaning===
:*[[High Level Nuclear Waste]] is [[Nuclear Waste|nuclear waste]] with a many different [[Unstable Isotope|unstable isotopes]] with different [[Half Life|half lives]] and a high level of [[radioactivity]].
===About High Level Nuclear Waste===
: '''High level nuclear waste''' requires shielding to prevent [[irradiation]] of living [[organism]]s and containment to prevent [[Radioactive Contamination|contamination]] of the [[environment]].
: '''High level nuclear waste''' releases a lot of [[energy]] which increases the [[temperature]] of the [[material]] so it requires cooling to prevent it [[heating]] up so much that [[Melting|melts]] or catches fire.
