ydinjäämiä
ydinjäämiä refers to the radioactive waste materials produced by nuclear power plants and other nuclear facilities. These materials result from the fission of nuclear fuel and contain a variety of radioactive isotopes. The management and disposal of ydinjäämiä are critical challenges for the nuclear industry due to their long-term radioactivity and potential environmental and health risks.
There are several categories of ydinjäämiä, often classified by their level of radioactivity and the duration
Current strategies for managing ydinjäämiä include temporary storage on-site at nuclear power plants in specialized facilities.
