1. Environmental impacts of nuclear waste. Nuclear waste or radioactive waste is the residue of nuclear reactors‚ nuclear researches‚ nuclear projects and nuclear bomb reaction. Nuclear wastes‚ also known as spent fuel‚ are dangerously radioactive and could exist for thousands of years. The release of nuclear waste from its reactor could easily cause a lot of diseases like acute radiation sickness. The injection of nuclear waste to underground water causes water pollution and could contribute

Superfund was initially asked to identify and clean-up hazardous waste sites. However‚ thirty years later the United States is facing additional new threats to the health and safety of the American people. The Superfund sites themselves are becoming “nightmares to deal with‚ due to disturbances and damage caused by extreme weather conditions brought on by climate change” (Treadman‚ 2010). The EPA website states‚ “hazardous waste sites can discharge and release large quantities of toxic substances

"The Waste Land" is a modernist poem by T. S. Eliot caused a sensation when it was published in 1922. It is today the most widely translated and studied English-language poem of the twentieth century. This is perhaps surprising given the poem’s length and its difficulty‚ but Eliot’s vision of modern life as plagued by sordid impulses‚ widespread apathy‚ and pervasive soullessness packed a punch when readers first encountered it. Pound’s influence on the final version of "The Waste Land" is significant

agriculture—and am receiving a box of organic produce delivered to my doorstep every week. My reasons for doing this are as follows: I want to eat locally grown produce; I want to reduce the use of chemicals in the food I eat; I want to reduce my carbon footprint by buying local‚ non-corporate food; I prefer to support local farmers‚ especially in a down economy; by subscribing rather than just buying at a farmer’s market‚ I’m showing my commitment to organic farming; and I will eat a broader range

A Proposal on Solid Waste Management And Disposal in Dhankuta Municipality Submitted By: Atit Shrestha MSWSHD/068/901 Department of Civil Engineering 1 Background of landfill technology Until recently‚ the concept of land filling was used to dump waste material for disposal. Therefore‚ not much care was taken about their construction. Placing the waste in the Earth’s upper crust was considered as the safest practice of waste disposal. But with rapid industrialization
