About High Level Nuclear Waste
- High level nuclear waste requires shielding to prevent irradiation of living organisms and containment to prevent 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 melts or catches fire.
