Asked by Sara

what must be done with the radioactive waste materials that result from splitting atoms and how is this a problem?
Answered by DrBob222
The radioactive waste must be discarded. The problem is that many of the radioactive isotopes have half lives of many years (some thousands of years) so where do we store that stuff and keep it out of harms way with no damage to humans or to the environment?
