Debated.”). To lower its volume‚ it is often condensed before disposal. It packs some 90% of the volume‚ but only 1% of the radioactivity of all radioactive waste. High-level waste is from the burning of uranium fuel in a nuclear reactor (Dixon). It contains the dividing products and trans elements generated in the reactor. It is highly radioactive and hot due to excess heat‚ so it requires shielding and cooling. It has thermal power and can be considered as the ash from burning uranium. The radioactive
