Problems Faced in Nuclear Power Plant Waste Disposal and Environmental Issues in India

Abstract

In this paper, the future of nuclear power must be discussed, along with the issues surrounding environmental issues that arise and the best ways to defend against nuclear waste. The extremely radioactive waste that nuclear reactors produce must be disposed of. After appropriate conditioning, solid waste from nuclear power plants is disposed of in near-surface disposal facilities, which are situated inside the nuclear power plant's exclusion zone boundary. Extremely toxic substances, including uranium pellets and plutonium, are included in this hazardous garbage. In India, we don't have a proper disposal and storage system. India has only a temporary tank storage system. Due to this, extremely dangerous substances have endangered freshwater supplies, farming land, fisheries, and human beings for tens of thousands of years since they are highly radioactive. A solution for this problem is not an easy thing to complete. Finland is moving forward, protecting radioactive material permanently. So in India, how it's going to be a solution in the future is concluded.
